Re: Sniffing communication between virtual machines

Do you want to sniff on the VM guest or the VM host?
Which virtualization technology are you using (vmware, xen, virtual server...)?

Have a nice day

  Hello,

   

  I need to record traffic between two middleware software (e.g. app server and a DB) which are deployed on two 
different virtual machines. The thing is that they may be physically deployed sometime on the same physical machine.

   

  Would a SPAN port listener on the Switch be able to capture the traffic between them in that kind of a 
scenario/deployment? If not - then I would be grateful to learn now people are tapping into virtual environments in 
that regard.

   

  Thank you in advance,

  Tal
