Hi,
I am trying libvirt plugin in wireshark to dissect RPC payload in TCP, but
finding dissector code not really working.
My env is Fedora core 21 (x86_64) and installed packages are as follow:
wireshark-1.12.6-1.fc21.x86_64
libvirt-wireshark-1.2.9.3-2.fc21.x86_64
Earlier, just after installation, I noticed libvirt.so available only in
/usr/lib64/wireshark/plugins/1.12.5/ . Wireshark could not load libvirt
plugin.
Yes, this is inherently broken. See my patch that I've just proposed:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-October/msg00852.html
So, I copied above .so into 1.12.6/ under same plugins folder,
following it
wireshark could list libvirt as supported protocol.
tshark -G protocols | grep libvirt
Libvirt libvirt libvirt
However, on checking with some pcaps which has libvirt RPC calls
captured on
wire, wireshark does not list libvirt RPC packets, as I search for
"libvirt"
protocol in pcap.
What is the command you're trying? Because if I copy the plugin over to
the correct directory it seems to be working for me.
Have anyone experienced this before or if you have any pointer that I could
check in my env, that would be very helpful.
