file-size (read-only: integer) - current file size (kB)
memory-over-limit-packets (read-only: integer) - number of packets that are dropped because of
exceeding memory-limit
memory-saved-packets (read-only: integer) - how many packets are stored in mermory
memory-size (read-only: integer) - how much memory is currently used for sniffed packets (kB)
processed-packets (read-only: integer) - number of sniffed packets
real-file-limit (read-only: integer) - the real file size limit. It is calculated from the beginning of
sniffing to reserve at least 1MB free space on the disk
real-memory-limit (read-only: integer) - the real memory size limit. It is calculated from the
beginning of sniffing to reserve at least 1MB of free space in the memory
stream-dropped-packets (read-only: integer) - number of packets that are dropped because of
exceeding streaming-max-rate
stream-sent-packets (read-only: integer) - number of packets that are sent to the streaming server
Command Description
save - saves sniffed packets from the memory to file-name in PCAP format
Sniffer Packets
Description
Wireless Sniffer sniffed packets. If packets Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) field detects error, it
will be displayed by crc-error flag.
Property Description
dst (read-only: MAC address) - the receiver's MAC address
freq (read-only: integer) - frequency
interface (read-only: text) - wireless interface that captures packets
signal@rate (read-only: text) - at which signal-strength and rate was the packet received
src (read-only: MAC address) - the sender's MAC address
time (read-only: time) - time when the packet was received, starting from the beginning of sniffing
