Though we have given examples for both web and application servers here. All you have to do is change the port number in which your application server is listening If you would like to capture the traffic of weblogic (or) Websphere or any application servers. You mostly going to be using the port 80 or 443. In other words, if you would like capture HTTP calls for Apache. TCPDUMP does the same job irrespective to what technology (or) server you are using it for. You can optionally monitor all the available interfaces by mentioning tcpdump -i any you must mention the interface name tcpdump -i enp0s8

In my case, My web server IP is 192.168.10.10 so I should pick and use the interface name of the same enp0s8 you can execut the command ifconfig (or) ip a To Get the interface name of your IP which you need to specify it in the tcpdump command. Use the right interface name (or) use any in the interface name. Make sure tcpdump is installed and configured properly ~]# tcpdump – version
