PCAP

Reads packet-capture files the Skipprd host can see. There are no extra keys — point the pipeline at this source when you already have capture files in the working environment the connector expects.

Before you begin

Capture files available to the Skipprd process.
This is a specialist source. Prefer Kafka, S3, or a database when you have application data.

Configure

PythonCLIYAML

python

from skippr import Config, DataSourcePcap, Pipeline

cfg = Config.discover()
src = cfg.data_source("trace", DataSourcePcap())
cfg.pipeline("trace", Pipeline(data_source=src))
cfg.save()

bash

skipprd connect data-source pcap \
  --pipeline trace \
  --name trace

yaml

data_sources:
  trace:
    Pcap: {}

Options

This connector has no configuration keys.

What gets synced

Decoded packets become records. Re-running over the same files can duplicate rows in append-only destinations.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
No rows	Confirm capture files are present for the process user
Permission denied	Grant read on the capture path
