gRPC WireShark plugin/dissector

[ndan...@gmail.com]

Hello everybody,

I read a few conversations here and in Github regarding a WireShark plugin or dissector for gRPC.

Is there any official support for WireShark so far?

If not, is there any way to dissect and decode what is going over the wire?

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,

Nikolay

Hi Nikolay,

Sorry for the late response. 

We do not have official support for WireShark. We have been thinking about adding this but no concrete timeline yet. 

Just in case you haven't already seen this, the grpc wireformat is documented here: http://www.grpc.io/docs/guides/wire.html

thanks,
