Hi,
My wireless sniffer stops after some minutes.
Terminal says “running” but no packets are being send to ip via streaming option anymore.
Counting of processed packets stops too.
My settings are Receive errors checked, Multiple channels unchecked, only headers unchecked.
Thanks.
Same problem here - tried with a few appliances already (dishes and Grooves) and RouterOS as latest stable. I do have a number of channels defined in scan-list
/interface set wlan1 disabled=no;
/interface wireless set wlan1 frequency-mode=superchannel;
/interface wireless set wlan1 country=no_country_set;
/interface wireless set wlan1 scan-list=“2GHz-20MHz,2GHz-40MHz”;
/interface wireless sniffer set channel-time=00:00:01;
/interface wireless sniffer set multiple-channels=yes;
/interface wireless sniffer set only-headers=no;
/interface wireless sniffer set receive-errors=no;
/interface wireless sniffer set streaming-enable=yes;
/interface wireless sniffer set streaming-max-rate=0;
/interface wireless sniffer set streaming-server=192.168.88.100;
/interface wireless sniffer sniff wlan1;
It starts to run and I see packets captured in Wireshark. After some time (different each test) sniffer stops to work, ssh window is not updated, can’t quit from it. Waiting longer produces “broken pipe” error and appliance is not accessible (sometimes it is) - have to power cycle it.
Can anybody from Mikrotik here squeeze in and explain a nature of this problem? Is it on Wireshark or RouterOS side? Is it’s on Wireshark side, then why appliance becames unresponsive?
Another question would be the following - how memory-limit setting affects streaming performance and is it related to streaming at all?

Another question would be - what is streaming-max-rate number meaning? (like is it byte/bits/packets per second? what setting 0 (zero) means? Unlimited?) Documentation WiKi does not explain it.
