Hi,

He actually means dumpcap. Tshark, also a commandline tool, will do dissection as well, something you want to avoid in long term capture. 

You do want to use multiple files though, to keep things managable.  

Thanks,

The best way I know is to setup a constant capture using Tshark where it is running and saves capture files.  Then when you are notified, you can go back to that capture file and see what is going on

I am a new user to wireshark. I have this problem where my network is experiences a surge in traffic,  but by the time I get to the protocol analyzer the data is gone. What is the best way to capture this window with wireshark?
