rasort - sort argus(8) data file.

SYNOPSIS
rasort [[-M sortmode] [sortmode] ...] [raoptions]
DESCRIPTION
Rasort reads argus data from an argus-data source, sorts the records based on the criteria specified on the command line, and outputs a
valid argus-stream.
OPTIONS
Rasort, 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. rasort(1) specific options are:
-M sortmode Supported sortmodes are:
time record start time <default>
startime record start time <default>
lasttime record last time.
trans aggregation record count.
dur record total duration.
avgdur record average duration.
saddr source IP addr.
daddr destination IP addr.
proto transaction protocol.
sport source port number.
dport destination port number.
stos source TOS byte value.
dtos destination TOS byte value.
sttl src -> dst TTL value.
dttl dst -> src TTL value.
bytes total transaction bytes.
sbytes src -> dst transaction bytes.
dbytes dst -> src transaction bytes.
pkts total transaction packet count.
spkts src -> dst packet count.
dpkts dst -> src packet count.
load bits per second.
loss pkts retransmitted or dropped.
rate pkts per second.
tranref argus transaction reference number.
seq argus sequence number.
srcid argus source identifier.
INVOCATION
A sample invocation of rasort(1). This call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and sorts the IP protocol based argus(8) data, first by the
destination IP address, then by the service (destination) port number and then by the source IP address, and writes the results to stdout.
For most services, this arranges argus(8) formatted data by server, service, and then by client.

rastrip - strip argus(8) data file.

SYNOPSIS
rastrip [[-M stripfield] [stripfield] ...] [raoptions]
DESCRIPTION
Rastrip reads argus data from an argus-data source, and removes data sections that are specified on the command line, and outputs a valid
argus-stream. If rastrip is run without any stripfield directives, the default is to strip out all information from the record except the
FAR information and TCP specific information. This default generates an argus-stream that contains the same semantic information that was
present in argus-1.5 data records, and generates the same output from ra().
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 [-|+]stripfield
Supported stripfields are:
far flow descriptors and flow metrics
mac media access control addresses
tcp TCP specific identifiers and metrics, such as base sequence numbers, advertised window sizes and retransmission sta-
tistics.
icmp ICMP specific identifiers and metrics, such as the source address of the ICMP packet, the declared gateway address
and the ICMP types and modes, such as ECHO or Port Unreachable, along with the port value.
rtp RTP and RTCP specific identifiers and metrics, such as the source stream identifiers, the last sequence number and
stream drop statistics.
igmp IGMP specific identifiers and metrics.
arp IGMP specific identifiers and metrics, such as the MAC address of the responder to arp requests for a specific
address.
frag Fragmentation specific identifiers and metrics, such as the average fragment size, number of fragments in this frag-
ment, last offset seen in this fragment.
esp ESP specific identifiers and metrics, such as the Security Identifier the last sequence number seen and drop statis-
tics.
mpls MPLS specific identifiers, such as the last MPLS label seen on this flow.
vlan VLAN specific identifiers, such as the source and destination VLAN identifiers. flow.
pppoe PPPOE specific identifiers, such as the source and destination SAP identifiers.
agr Aggregation specific metrics, such as the number of records aggregated, the mean record duration, standard devia-
tions.
jitter Jitter specific metrics, such as the mean interpacket arrival time while the flow is active, max, min and standard
deviation, as well as metrics for while the flow is idle.
user All user data capture buffers.
srcuser User data capture buffer from the source node.
dstuser User data capture buffer from the destination node.
stime Source jitter information.
dtime Destination jitter information.
INVOCATION
Sample invocations of rastrip(1). The first call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and strips the record, leaving only the FAR data,
which contains the flow descriptors and basic metrics, and jitter information.
rastrip -r inputfile -M far jitter
The next sample invocation of rastrip(1), adds vlan specific information to the default far and tcp information that would normally be
retained.
rastrip -r inputfile -M +vlan
The next sample invocation of rastrip(1), removes only the user data capture buffers from the argus-stream, keep the rest of the data
intact.
rastrip -r inputfile -M -user
