Hi,

You mean restart i.s.o. recompile Wireshark. The answer is yes, you need to restart Wireshark so that it can configure all dissectors (plugin or not) and their relations.

What you can do 'on the fly' is add dissectors to conversations. Maybe that can help you.

Thanx,
Jaap

Hi Everybody,

If I create a new dissector as a plug-in while wireshark is running, should I recompile wireshark, which will interrupt its execution ? or is it capable of adapting itself to the newly added plug-in dissectors without its execution being interrupted ?

Thanks.
