tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

Wireshark

shorten tcpdump or snoop files by time via wireshark example

"\Program Files\Wireshark\editcap" -A "2013-08-24 18:18:21" -B "2013-08-24 18:18:22" linuxbaremetal_to_nexenta-nexenta_pov.snoop linuxbaremetal_to_nexenta-nexenta_pov-1sec.snoop

some filters:

remove RDP

!(tcp.port == 3389 || udp.port == 3389)

Web capture

tcpdump -nnSs 0 'port 80' -w /tmp/out.pcap

tcpdump -i eni2bcbcd796a2 -c 10000 -nnSs 0 'port 80' -w /tmp/out.pcap

-c for count 10,000 in this case.

Capture from a container over some pipes

Assumptions:

1. only one pod deployed.

2. alpine base container ( hence the apk install )

pod=`ssh ubuntu@bastion kubectl get pod | grep podname| awk '{print $1}'`
echo ${pod}
# install tcpdump
ssh ubuntu@bastion "kubectl exec ${pod} -- apk add tcpdump"
# grab 1000 packets
ssh ubuntu@bastion "kubectl exec ${pod} -- tcpdump -s0 -c1000 -U -n -w - -i eth0 'not port 22'" > /tmp/${pod}.pcap
