Sharky

The Sharky remote services manages network recording (using tshark) and/or audio recording (using arecord) on Linux machines. With audio recordings, the default output is a *.wav file, which can additionally be converted to *.mp3. Network traces produce a *.pcap file. This section describes how intaQt can recognize running Sharky services. However, this section does not describe how to set up a Sharky service on a remote machine. Please refer to Sharky for Audio and Network Recording for information on how to set up a Sharky service.

Syntax

Sharky {
    <serviceName Identifier> {
        type = <String>
        host = <String>
        port = <Number>
    }
...
}

Multiple Sharky services can be configured. Every service definition consists of:

• serviceName - This is a user-specified name for the service

  • This identifier will be part of the report's attachment log files provided by the service

• type - One of "net" or "audio"

  • This describes the service type
  • All services of a given type are started/stopped on request by the steps (or annotation) in a test case scenario

• host - Network location where the service is running, usually an IP address

• port - Port number the remote service listens to

Example

Sharky {
    ExampleService {
        type = "net"
        host = "192.168.x.y"
        port = 7782
    }
    audioRecord {
        type = "audio"
        host = "192.168.x.y"
        port = 6798
    }
}
