Is there API's available for wireshark [closed]
Hi Team,
We are trying to integrate wireshark tool with our application, just to view the pcap log files via wireshark. Our application is based out of kubernetes pods running on Linux. So we have created a pod for wireshark, using the available wireshark docker image. And able to access the wireshark service from our application.
Usecase: When clicked on the pcap log file in my application, it should open the pcap file via wireshark GUI.
Below are the issues we face:
1) We are able to open the pcap files via wireshark manually only (Wireshark->File->Open). As searched in the documentation, there are no API's available to automate opening of files via wireshark. Any help here would be appreciated.
Limitation: Also the pcap files should be placed in the config folder before trying to open.
2) As the above is the case, tried to open the pcap file using the command line option: "wireshark -r <filename>" from the pod where wireshark is installed.
This throws the below error:
* (wireshark:138266) 11:24:50.830804 [GUI WARNING] -- could not connect to display * (wireshark:138266) 11:24:50.830877 [GUI ERROR] -- This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Available platform plugins are: eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb.
Aborted (core dumped)
Tried installing wireshark-qt as well, still same issue.
Kindly assist if there are any API's available or any other way to open the pcap files via wireshark GUI. Let me know if additional information is needed.
Thanks in advance.
