constat 1.2.0 (Default branch)

Image constat is an application that monitors, logs, and reports the activity of network connections present on a system. It reports sent/received traffic information for every live network device, giving you the option of displaying its output in units of kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes, along with the number of transmitted packets. It also includes a real time monitoring option based on a timer. Additionally, constat provides the option to view the socket table (local/remote IPs with ports they are binded to) for a specific protocol or all protocols at once. It does not require the X server. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
An output only numbers option has been added (-n). A new style of output formatting (transmitted packets are shown on a separate line). An option to use old style formatting (-o). A new log format (same as syslog). The log file has been moved to /var/log/ and renamed to constat.log. The -s option is extended (the 'more' command is automatically executed when viewing all entries; -s= shows the last n entries). The monitoring timer (-m option) default value has changed to 30 seconds. configure has been added. COPYRIGHT has been renamed to COPYING. INSTALL, TODO, and AUTHORS files have been added.Image

NAME
flow-stat -- Generate reports with flow data. SYNOPSIS
flow-stat [-hnpPw] [-d debug_level] [-f format] [-S sort_field] [-s sort_field] [-t tally_lines] [-T title] DESCRIPTION
The flow-stat utility generates usage reports for flow data sets by IP address, IP address pairs, ports, packets, bytes, interfaces, next hops, autonomous systems, ToS bits, exporters, and tags. OPTIONS
-d debug_level Enable debugging. -f format Report format. Choose from the following: 0 Overall Summary 1 Average packet size distribution 2 Packets per flow distribution 3 Octets per flow distribution 4 Bandwidth per flow distribution 5 UDP/TCP destination port 6 UDP/TCP source port 7 UDP/TCP port 8 Destination IP 9 Source IP 10 Source/Destination IP 11 Source or Destination IP 12 IP protocol 13 octets for flow duration plot data 14 packets for flow duration plot data 15 short summary 16 IP Next Hop 17 Input interface 18 Output interface 19 Source AS 20 Destination AS 21 Source/Destination AS 22 IP ToS 23 Input/Output Interface 24 Source Prefix 25 Destination Prefix 26 Source/Destination Prefix 27 Exporter IP 28 Engine Id 29 Engine Type 30 Source Tag 31 Destination Tag 32 Source/Destination Tag -h Display help. -n Use symbolic names where appropriate. -p Display header information. -P Report as percent total. -s sort_field Sort ascending on field sort_field. -S sort_field Sort descending on field sort_field. -t tally_lines Tally totals every tally_lineslines. -T title Set report title to title. -w Wide output. EXAMPLES
Provide a report on top source/destination IP pairs sorted by octets, report in percent total form for the flows in /flows/krc4. Use the preload option to flow-cat to preserve meta information and display it with flow-stat. flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-stat -f10 -P -p -S4 EXAMPLES
Many times a campus network will have a single border router which has one interface pointing to the internal side and many interfaces pointing to other providers. These interfaces each have a unique numerical id known in SNMP terms as an ifIndex. The ifIndex to interface name mappings can be determined by using a tool such as snmpwalk or using show commands in recent versions of IOS with the 'show snmp mib ifmib ifindex' or JunOS 'show interfaces'. Once the ifIndex for each interface is known flow-filter can be combined with flow-stat to pro- vide reports such as inbound vs outbound top src/destination IP addresses. Provide a top source IP address report by outbound traffic, ie the top senders of traffic on the campus network. Assume the ifIndex of the campus interface is 5. flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-filter -i5 | flow-stat -f9 -P -p -S3 EXAMPLES
Provide a top destination IP address report by outbound traffic, ie the top sinks of traffic on the campus network. Assume the ifIndex of the campus interface is 5. flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-filter -I5 | flow-stat -f8 -P -p -S3 EXAMPLES
Provide a top source/destination AS report. Use symbolic names. flow-cat -p /flows/krc4 | flow-stat -f20 -n -P -p -S4 BUGS
