I am trying to launch wireshark from the cli with the following options... wireshark -k -i eth2 -a filesize:1000000 -f <capture filter=""> The issue I have is that I want to use a pre-defined wireshark filter... when I run the above with the actual filter in the cli cmd it works, when I use a pre-defined one it fails.. Working example: wireshark -k -i eth2 -a filesize:1000000 -f "host 40.40.41.42" Failure example (the one I am trying to use): wireshark -k -i eth2 -a filesize:1000000 -f pre-defined-capture1 Where pre-defined-capture1 filter does show up under "Capture -> Options -> Capture Filter" list... The error i get is that the filter is not valid, I would like to specify the filter I saved in the capture filters list if thats possible... Any ideas? asked 13 Dec '12, 09:22  gates2010 |
One Answer:
Unfortunately, what you are asking for is not yet implemented. The option '-f' accepts only filters in the libpcap syntax. Please file and enhancement bug at bugs.wireshark.org. Regards answered 14 Dec '12, 07:42  Kurt Knochner ♦ |
