Find the server Elliptic curve

I'm looking into a problem between browsers and a Citrix ADC Vserver and am currently trying to determine what the cipher suite and ECC Curves the server & client negotiate.

I can use filter tls.handshake.ciphersuite to filter just the packets that contain the client hello & server hello packets that contain the cipher suites & ECC curves (extensions supported group) the client supports and the suite the server chooses. The server hello clearly show the chosen cipher suite but i can't find what ecc curve the server chooses.

Can someone point me to how i can find out the elliptic curve negotiated between the 2.

Thanks

Look at the contents of the Key Share extension field in the Server Hello, there should be one entry with the chosen group (field tls.handshake.extensions_key_share_group).

only seeing "tls.handshake.extensions_key_share_group" in client hello's no server hello's are shown with that filter.

interestingly with firefox, the client shares group x25519 & secp256r1 yet secp384r1 is negotiated as seen in developer mode -> security in firefox.

I was looking at a TLS 1.3 handshake.

tls.handshake.server_curve_type

filters just those packets containing the curve negotiated
