Hi,

Look into using the CLI tool dumpcap, writing to a circular buffer.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hi,

 

We are looking to do some long term larger packet captures (e.g., 1 day / 3 day / etc) – is there some way to setup wireshark so that it doesn’t crash (a write to disk mode or something?) or is this something that we should be using a more command line utility like tshark for?

 

Thanks
