About

This is the project of Google Summer of Code 2013 accepted by QEMU.org and libvirt community. The goal of this project is, provide Wireshark dissector for Libvirt RPC protocol. It will provide Libvirt packet overview/detail analysing in Wireshark. Furthermore, it will be able to build(generated) from RPC protocol definition placed in Libvirt source tree to support latest protocol specification.

Installation

Run ./configure with --with-wireshark-dissector option enabled. Then dissector will compiled with libvirt itself.

Add/Remove protocol from dissector's support

Modify variable WS_DISSECTOR_PROTO_FILES in tools/wireshark/src/Makefile.am.

Changing installation directory

You can change installation directory of pluggable shared object(libvirt.so) by specifying --with-ws-plugindir=.

You can install libvirt.so into your local wireshark plugin directory:

./configure --with-wireshark-dissector \
    --with-ws-plugindir=$HOME/.wireshark/plugins
