Do you mean usbmon AND wireshark? Or is there some tool under that name?

First of all, the tool is inteded to be used with devices not yet, or
incorrectly supported by the Linux kernel. If the kernel won't communicate
with the device there won't be anything in the trace.

Next, my focus currently is on HID stuff only and it would need additional
effort to dig through all the USB stuff in the trace.

Then the tool is expected to be included in a larger diagnostics toolset
which should be as easy to use as possible and I don't want to force users
to mount debugfs and load the usbmon module.

Sincerely,
Nick
