Piping sflowtool into WireShark

0

From the elevated cmd prompt, I have tried "wireshark -k -i (sflowtool)" and receive error that capture session could not be created: error opening adapter...system cannot find specified file.

How can I get sflowtool piped into WireShark?

Have you set up the named pipe sflowtool as per the Wireshark Wiki page on capturing over pipes?

Also, you may want to read this sflow blog article, although the article indicates capturing as, wireshark -k -i <(sflowtool -t), but I think sflowtool -t | wireshark -k -i - might be needed.
