Remote Interfaces does not save.

1

Hi All,

I have successfully configured remote interfaces using rpcdap on remote Linux server from my windows machine. However I have notice that once I configure the remote interfaces when I close wireshark and reopen it it disappears. Is there a way to save this configuration as I have multiple servers and would hate to input them every time.

I know from the wireshark documentation it states for remote interfaces that "In contrast to the local interfaces they are not saved in the "Preferences" file". I was hoping that there might be some other file it should be saved in or a hack of sorts.

Thanks in advance, Jordan

Unfortunately, no, there's no file that they're saved in.

They should probably be saved transparently in the "recent" file, rather than as an explicitly-saved preference. Please file a request for enhancement at the Wireshark bugzilla.

But I remember that in old versions the configured remote interfaces did not vanish.

No need for another bug; this request is already tracked as bug 8557.
