SYNOPSIS

       ragator [-f ragator.conf] [raoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       Ragator	reads argus(8) data from an argus-file, and merges matching argus flow activity records together.  In its default mode of options,
       this effectively converts argus(8) files from detail to non-detail mode, and merges periodic flow report records to a single argus  record,
       thus compressing the argus(8) file to a reduced size.

       You can modify the aggregation strategy used by ragator to merge records together, by using the -f ragator.conf option.	See ragator(5) for
       a complete description of the format and syntax of the flow model file.

OPTIONS

       Ragator, 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.
