Hi,

If you can create a tap on such a vm switch you can monitor on that.
It very much depends on the specific technology you're using. VMWare maybe?

Thanx,

Hi,
We have a VM server that uses vm switches for communication between the VM’s. Can WireShark or tshark monitor communication on a VM switch between the different servers that reside on the same physical host? So application server on VM1 on host A talks to Database on VM2 on host A through a VM switch. We’d like to have WireShark monitor this communication. 

Thanks for the help.
