Hi, You can do all this from the commandline. There's no other control interface. Thanks, Jaap Send from my iPhone On 25 nov 2009, at 10:54, Ola Liljedahl <ola.liljedahl () enea com> wrote:
We have tools for analyzing and displaying logs and these logs may refer to captured packets (the log may actually contain the packets but we do not intend to write 10000 dissectors for our log analyzer when Wireshark already does this). We indent to save those captured packets to a file in the pcap format and then launch Wireshark for analyzing and viewing the packets. I wonder if there is any programmatic interface for controlling Wireshark so that it can load different capture files and jump to specific packets (perhaps identified by time stamp) in the capture as commanded by another program. Maybe Wireshark could listen to a TCP port to which you can connect and send commands. Or maybe some more standardized IPC mechanism. I scanned through the User's Guide but could not find anything similar to what we want to do. Thanks, Ola Liljedahl ___________________________________________________________________________
