How to run Wireshark on Linux to capture Web Service traffic?

0

I have WebSphere installed on a server which is hosting a web service. We have to capture the packets of request and response of this web service.

So I am assuming if I install Wireshark on the server it will be able to capture incoming traffic and outgoing HTTP traffic of that web service.

I asked Unix team to install Wireshark and here I can see the directories. But I don't know how to run it or which binary I need to execute.

I can see two directories created after its installation. enter image description here

Normally the name of the binary file is called wireshark

When your system is missing X11 you can use the program tshark (CLI version of Wireshark). To start it simple use '$/path/to/bin/tshark -i interfacename'.
