 Performing a live capture migration requires that a Capture Proxy be configured to capture incoming traffic and send it to the target cluster using the Traffic Replayer service. For arguments available in `captureProxyExtraArgs`, refer to the `@Parameter` fields [here](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-migrations/blob/main/TrafficCapture/trafficCaptureProxyServer/src/main/java/org/opensearch/migrations/trafficcapture/proxyserver/CaptureProxy.java). For `trafficReplayerExtraArgs`, refer to the `@Parameter` fields [here](https://github.com/opensearch-project/opensearch-migrations/blob/main/TrafficCapture/trafficReplayer/src/main/java/org/opensearch/migrations/replay/TrafficReplayer.java). At a minimum, no extra arguments may be needed.
