yum_package("tshark") do
  action [:install]

this is the code on istalling tshark :

# debug tools
%w{tshark}.each do |pkg|
  package pkg do
    action :install

end

what is the possible problem . . thanks

There is no package available in your configured yum repositories names tshark. At least on RHEL and CentOS the /usr/bin/tshark command is provided by the wireshark package.
