capturing named pipes with wireshark
I need to capture named pipes traffic and was wondering if it's possible with wireshark. The forum post below says no, but it's quite old. Just wanted to make sure it's still the case today?

What do you mean by "named pipes traffic"?
Is this on Windows? If not, there's no mechanism that any UN*X I know of provides that would allow Wireshark to capture traffic between two other processes.
If this is on Windows, is this traffic between two processes on the same machine or between two processes on different machines?
Yes, it's on a Windows pc and it's both, the traffic between 2 windows systems and traffic on the same windows pc.
I found something that may do exactly what i was looking for

Found a much easier way to capture database calls.
Used sqllocaldb info to get the name of the db engine and the rest of the process is described in the article below.
