ble sniffer / wireshark - Is it possible to set the device or follow le address via cli?

[dwalks]

When debugging a connection using Wireshark and the BLE sniffer, one must select the device of interest from the device menu, or select "follow le address" in the key drop down and enter the address.

This is fine and all works well, but I was wondering if it was possible to set these values via the wireshark CLI?

Ultimately I would like to run tshark (the terminal version of Wireshark) with the address or advertising name of the device of interest and for tshark to follow the connection.

Please do not suggest display filters, as this will not instruct the sniffer to follow the connection, and you won't see packets beyond the connection.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Thank you for this.

Is the log level used for debugging the internal application? I found I couldn't make much sense of it - it didn't appear to contain the packet information. However the pcap file did contain the packets I was interested in.

Also, I think there's a small error in the documentation you provided. I believe the command should be "nrfutil ble-sniffer" and not "nrfutil-ble-niffer"

You might need Ellisys's device as our internal.

Cannot find the error in that link. Could you provide the snapshot?
