How do I filter SQL Server traffic between app and DB servers using Wireshark?

I'm trying to identify the source of some ill-timed connection resets. I'm trying to use Wireshark to capture the traffic that goes between the application s开发者_JAVA百科erver and database server. How do I set up a filter for this in Wireshark?

Wireshark has display filters and capture filters. The capture filter captures only certain packets, resulting in a small capture file. Capture filters are set in Capture Options (ctrl-K). An example to capture SQL Server traffic would be:

host <sql-server-ip> and port <sql-server-port>

A display filter is set in the toolbar. A display filter does not reduce the size of the capture. You can change a display filter while the capture is running. An example display filter:

 ip.addr == <sql-server-ip> && tcp.port == <sql-server-port>

The default SQL Server port is 1433.

You can use only tds to identify the traffic between SQL Server's client and server, this fill filter a lot of noise packet.

Or you can append the tds with the and or && operator after other filters if you want to filter more specific traffic.
