flow-rptfmt

flow-rptfmt(1)						      General Commands Manual						    flow-rptfmt(1)

NAME

       flow-rptfmt -- Format the output of flow-report in ASCII or HTML

SYNOPSIS

       flow-rptfmt [-hHnp]  [-a alarm_time]  [-f format]  [-F fields]  [-m max_lines]  [-s sort_field]

DESCRIPTION

       The  flow-rptfmt  utility processes the CSV output of flow-report into formatted ASCII or HTML.	Sorting, maximum display lines, field fil-
       ter, header display, and name substitution are supported during post processing.  Additionally an alarm can be set for use in  CGI  scripts
       to limit the CPU time of formatting.

OPTIONS

       -a alarm_time
		 Exit after alarm_time seconds.

       -f ascii|html
		 Set output format.  Defaults to ASCII.

       -F display_fields
		 Limit columns to display_fields

       -h	 Help.

       -H	 Display header information.

       -m max_lines
		 Limit rows to max_lines.

       -n	 Enable symbol table lookups.

       -p	 Display in percent total form.

       -s sort_field
		 Sort on sort_field.  Prepend with + for ascending, - for descending sort.

EXAMPLES

       Format  the  output  of	daily-ip-protocol.txt  in  ASCII.  Display the ip-protocol and octets fields in percent total format with symbols.
       Limit output to top 5 sorted by octets.

	   cat daily-ip-protocol.txt | flow-rptfmt -fascii -Fip-protocol,octets -p -n -m5

BUGS

       Sorting could be faster.  Percent totals could be faster.  May not work with flow-report prior to 0.68.
