Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Announcing sysdig: tcpdump for your host

Wireshark friends,
I�d like to announce sysdig, the latest open source project I�ve been working on together with the team at my new startup, Draios.

http://www.sysdig.org/
https://github.com/draios/sysdig

Sysdig tries to bring the network analysis workflow to Linux system troubleshooting, and is like a mix between tshark, strace and lsof. It lets you capture system events related to network I/O, disk I/O, CPU usage, IPC and much more, and then it lets you decode and filter them as you would do with tshark.

It comes packed with a set of features that I believe the Wireshark community will find very cool: the ability to create system trace files in pcap-ng format, scripting in Lua, a filtering language very similar to what wireshark guys are used to, a libpcap-like capture library that can be used to build new tools on top of the capture infrastructure.
I�d love to hear what you all think.

And, if you do enjoy using sysdig, we could really use your help spreading the word - like by voting or commenting on Hacker News or Reddit, starring our github repo, tweeting at us, or writing a blog post.

Thanks!
