Getting logs out of wireshark pcap files

Question

I converted the wireshark pcap file to a windows txt file using TShark's command tshark -V -r {file} Is the data contained inside the windows txt file converted from the wireshark's pcap file the log data? Or is there a better way to get logs out of the wireshark pcap files??

Answer 1

That depends on what the purpose of the log file is. If you intend to hand it to, for example, Splunk (and, no, I didn't pick Splunk at random :-)), you might want to ask about this on the Splunk Q&A site rather than on a generic Q&A site or a Wireshark Q&A site, as most of the issues are probably Splunk issues and you're more likely to find people familiar with Splunk there.
