Debugging the UCS Manager and API with Wireshark and Java Logging

Here are two posts that show you how to use Wireshark to sniff the raw HTTP traffic between your laptop + UCS manager, and also how to turn on and use Java logging of your session:

Nice pair of posts, Steve. I did poke around in Wireshark briefly spying on the UCS manager before quickly disabling HTTP access.

I am really happy with the open API approach Cisco has taken with 1000v and UCS. Hopefully this means an end for nasty automation efforts using SSH and screen scraping.
