Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark Capture Program Shut Down Problem => Please Assist

Hello,

I am working with a customer who is capturing Ethernet data off of their Managed Switch using Wireshark and their program is shutting down unexpectedly and stopping the capture of data.

They are capturing data every (3) minutes using multiple files for a total of 480 files.  The goal is to have 480 (3) minute increments of data over the course of 24 hours.

The system shuts down around the 48th file and stops capturing data.

The Data files are ~20 MB of data so the Network is very very busy.  It is being used for Process Controls and Messaging, etc.

Can you assist on common culprits which cause these unecessary shutdowns of Wireshark?  

Please call (402.321.5057) or email me (jemiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Thanks!
