When running tshark as a scheduled task as SYSTEM, ring buffering eventually
stopped working. Capturing continued, but continued to write to the last file.
Here is the tshark command line:
"C:\Program Files\Wireshark\tshark.exe" -B 64 -n -i 4 -b duration:60 -b
files:480 -f "not (tcp port 3389 or tcp port 445 or tcp port 139)" -w
D:\Wireshark_Captures\PCSGSQLCS02B.pcap
Using Process Explorer, I see it spawned dumpcap with the following command
line:
"C:\Program Files\Wireshark\dumpcap" -i
\Device\NPF_{53708B57-5FE5-47BD-8DD4-E9C336D696E7} -b duration:60 -b files:480
-Z 4828 -B 64 -f "not (tcp port 3389 or tcp port 445 or tcp port 139)" -w
D:\Wireshark_Captures\PCSGSQLCS02B.pcap
TSHARK has been running since 8:07:36 PM on 12/6/2010. Timestamp of the file
preceding the currently growing file is 9:16 PM on 1/2/2011.
This looks to me like we have reached some limitation on the number of files it
will cycle through...
