NAME

rastrip - strip argus(8) data file.  

COPYRIGHT

SYNOPSIS

rastrip [-M [replace] [+|-]dsr [-M ...]] [raoptions]  

DESCRIPTION

Rastrip reads argus data from an argus-data source, strips the records based on the criteria specified on the command line, and outputs a valid argus-stream. This is useful to reduce the size of argus data files. Rastrip always removes argus management transactions, thus having the same effect as a 'not man' filter expression.  

OPTIONS

Rastrip, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options including filtering of input argus records through a terminating filter expression. See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options. rastrip(1) specific options are:

-M [replace] [+|-]dsr
Strip specified dsr (data structure record?).

Supported dsrs are:

flow
flow key data (proto, saddr, sport, dir, daddr, dport)
time
time stamp fields (stime, ltime).
metric
basic ([s|d]bytes, [s|d]pkts, [s|d]rate, [s|d]load)
agr
aggregation stats (trans, avgdur, mindur, maxdur, stdev).
net
network objects (tcp, esp, rtp, icmp data).
vlan
VLAN tag data
mpls
MPLS label data
jitter
Jitter data ([s|d]jit, [s|d]intpkt)
ipattr
IP attributes ([s|d]ipid, [s|d]tos, [s|d]dsb, [s|d]ttl)
suser
src user captured data bytes (suser)
duser
dst captured user data bytes (duser)
mac
MAC addresses (smac, dmac)
icmp
ICMP specific data (icmpmap, inode)
encaps
Flow encapsulation type indications

If no dsrs are specified, Rastrip removes the following default set of dsrs: encaps, agr, vlan, mpls, mac, icmp, ipattr, jitter, suser, duser

 

INVOCATION

A sample invocation of rastrip(1). This call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and strips the default dsr set but keeps MAC addresses and writes the result to outputfile:

rastrip -M +mac -r inputfile -w outputfile

This call removes only user captured data and timings and writes the result to stdout:

rastrip -M -suser -M -duser -M -time -r inputfile
