Sniffer file only 20Mb

RouterOS General
1

I need to save all the headers of the packets in my network.

But it only generates a file of 20MB (1H 30min of connections)

It’s a way to generate a bigger file?
Or generate more files when one is “full”?


Send the packets to another server with streaming it’s not a solution.

I will send before the files to a backup server. (I need to keep this for months)


Anyone have an idea??
Thanks

If you are using ‘tool sniffer’, look for the option,

file-limit (integer; default: 10) - the limit of the file in KB. Sniffer will stop after this limit is reached

Increase limit to bigger value to save bigger files.


For CALEA there is,
pcap-file-stop-size - maximal filesize, in KiB;

Thanks Sergejs,

but i put here 61000000 (61000 MB)


/tool sniffer
set file-limit=61000000 file-name=sniffer-9-9 filter-address1=
0.0.0.0/0:0-65535 filter-address2=0.0.0.0/0:0-65535 filter-protocol=
all-frames filter-stream=yes interface=bridge1 memory-limit=10
only-headers=yes streaming-enabled=no streaming-server=192.168.1.132


And the file stills stops at 20MB…

Thanks Again

I’ve configured limit to 30Mb, sniffer sniffed 30Mb, it does not stop at 20 Mb.
