NAME

   nfdump - netflow display and analyze program

SYNOPSIS

   nfdump [options] [filter]

DESCRIPTION

   nfdump  is the netflow display and analyzing program of the nfdump tool
   set.  It reads the  netflow  data  from  files  stored  by  nfcapd  and
   processes  the  flows according the options given. The filter syntax is
   comparable to tcpdump and extended for netflow data.  Nfdump  can  also
   display many different top N flow and flow element statistics.

OPTIONS

   -r inputfile
      Read input data from inputfile. Default is read from stdin.

   -R expr
      Read  input from a sequence of files in the same directory. expr may
      be one of:
       /any/dir          Read recursively all files in directory dir.
       /dir/file         Read all files beginning with file.
       /dir/file1:file2  Read all files from file1 to file2.

       When using in combination with a sub hierarchy:
       /dir/sub1/sub2/file1:sub3/sub4/file2
       Read all files from sub1/sub2/file1 sub3/sub4/file2 iterating  over
       all required hierarchy levels.

       Note: files are read in alphabetical sequence.

   -M expr
      Read   input   from   multiple   directories.   expr   looks   like:
      /any/path/to/dir1:dir2:dir3  etc.  and  will  be  expanded  to   the
      directories:      /any/path/to/dir1,      /any/path/to/dir2      and
      /any/path/to/dir3 Any number of colon separated directories  may  be
      given.  The files to read are specified by -r or -R and are expected
      to exist in all the given directories.  The options -r and  -R  must
      not contain any directory part when used in conjunction with -M.

   -m depricated option. Use -O tstart instead.

   -O order
      Set sort order to print flows or aggregated flows. order can be:
        flows    Sort according the number of flows
        packets  Sort according to (in)packets
        ipkg     Same as packets
        opkg     Sort according to output packets
        bytes    Sort according to (in)bytes
        ibyte    Same as bytes
        obyte    Sort according to output bytes
        pps      Sort according to (in)packets per second
        ipps     Same as ipps
        opps     Sort according to out packets per second
        bps      Sort according to (in)bytes per second
        ibps     Same as bps
        obps     Sort according to output bytes per second
        bpp      Sort according to (in)bytes per packet
        ibpp     Same as bpp
        obpp     Sort according to output packets
        tstart   Sort according to start time of flow - former -m
        tend"    Sort according to end time of flows

   -w outputfile
      If specified writes binary netflow records to outputfile ready to be
      processed again with nfdump. The default output is ASCII on  stdout.
      In  combination  with  options  -m,  -a, -b, and -B write aggregated
      and/or sorted flow cache in binary format to disk.

   -f filterfile
      Reads the filter syntax from filterfile. Note: Any filter  specified
      directly on the command line takes precedence over -f.

   -t timewin
      Process  only  flows,  which  fall in the time window timewin, where
      timewin is YYYY/MM/dd.hh:mm:ss[-YYYY/MM/dd.hh:mm:ss]. Any  parts  of
      the   time   spec   may   be   omitted  e.g  YYYY/MM/dd  expands  to
      YYYY/MM/dd.00:00:00-infinity and processes all flow from a given day
      onwards.  The  time  window  may also be specified as +/- n. In this
      case it is relativ to the beginning or end of all flows.  +10  means
      the  first 10 seconds of all flows, -10 means the last 10 seconds of
      all flows.

   -c num
      Limit the number of records to read and process from file(es) to the
      first num flows.

   -a Aggregate  netflow  data.  Automatically  implies -a. Aggregation is
      done at connection level by  taking  the  5-tuple  protocol,  srcip,
      dstip, srcport and dstport.

   -A aggregation
      Similar to Flexible Netflow (FNF), netflow records can be aggregated
      by any number of given v9 fields. aggregation  is  a  ','  separated
      list of recognised tags of the following list:
        proto      IP protocol
        srcip      Source IP address
        dstip      Destination IP address
        srcip4/net IPv4 source IP address with applied netmask
        srcip6/net IPv6 source IP address with applied netmask
        dstip4/net IPv4 destination IP address with applied netmask
        dstip6/net IPv6 destination IP address with applied netmask
        srcnet     Apply netmask srcmask in netflow record for source IP
        dstnet     Apply netmask dstmask in netflow record for dest IP
        srcport    Source port
        dstport    Destination port
        srcmask    Source mask
        dstmask    Destination mask
        srcvlan    Source vlan label
        dstvlan    Destination vlan label
        srcas      Source AS number
        dstas      Destination AS number
        nextas     BGP Next AS
        prevas     BGP Previous AS
        inif       SNMP input interface number
        outif      SNMP output interface number
        next       IP next hop
        bgpnext    BGP next hop
        insrcmac   In source MAC address
        outdstmac  out destination MAC address
        indstmac   In destintation MAC address
        outsrcmac  Out source MAC address
        tos        Source type of service
        srctos     Source type of Service
        dsttos     Destination type of Service
        mpls1      MPLS label 1
        mpls2      MPLS label 2
        mpls3      MPLS label 3
        mpls4      MPLS label 4
        mpls5      MPLS label 5
        mpls6      MPLS label 6
        mpls7      MPLS label 7
        mpls8      MPLS label 8
        mpls9      MPLS label 9
        mpls10     MPLS label 10
        router     Exporting router IP

      nfdump  automatically  compiles an appropriate output format for the
      selected aggregation unless an explicit output format is given.  The
      automatic  output  format  is  identical to -o 'fmt:%ts %td <fields>
      %pkt %byt %bps %bpp %fl'  where  <fields>  represents  the  selected
      aggregation tags.

      Example:
          -A proto,srcip,dstport

          -A srcas,dstas

   -b Aggregate  netflow  records  as  bidirectional  flows. Automatically
      implies -a.  Aggregation is done on connection level by  taking  the
      5-tuple  protocol, srcip, dstip, srcport and dstport, or the reverse
      order for  the  corresponding  connection  flow.  Input  and  output
      packets/bytes  are  counted  and  reported  separate. Both flows are
      merged into  a  single  record.  An  appropriate  output  format  is
      selected  automatically,  which  may be overwritten by any -o format
      option.

   -B Like -b but automagically swaps flows, such that src port is >  1024
      and  dst  port  is  < 1024 as some exporters do not care sending the
      flows in proper order. It's considered to be a convenient option. If
      src and dst port are > 1024 or < 1024, the flows are taken as is.

   -I Print  flow  statistics  from  file  specified  by  -r,  or timeslot
      specified by -R/-M.

   -D dns
      Set dns as nameserver to lookup hostnames.

      By adding :p to the statistic name, the resulting statistic is split
      up  into  transport  layer  protocols. Default is transport protocol
      independent statistics.

      orderby is optional and specifies the order by which the  statistics
      is  ordered  and  can be flows, packets, bytes, pps, bps or bpp. You
      may specify  more  than  one  orderby  which  results  in  the  same
      statistic   but   ordered  differently.  If  no  orderby  is  given,
      statistics are ordered by flows.  You can specify as  many  -s  flow
      element statistics on the command line for the same run.

      Example:
         -s srcip -s ip/flows -s dstport/pps/packets/bytes -s record/bytes

   -O orderby
      Specifies  the default orderby for flow element statistics -s, which
      applies when no orderby is  given  at  -s.  orderby  can  be  flows,
      packets, bytes, pps, bps or bpp. Defaults to flows.

   -l [+/-]packet_num
      Limit  statistics  output  to  those  records  above  or  below  the
      packet_num limit. packet_num accepts positive  or  negative  numbers
      followed  by 'K' , 'M' or 'G' 10E3, 10E6 or 10E9 flows respectively.
      See also note at -L

   -L [+/-]byte_num
      Limit statistics output to those records above or below the byte_num
      limit. byte_num accepts positive or negative numbers followed by 'K'
      , 'M' or 'G' 10E3, 10E6 or  10E9  bytes  respectively.  Note:  These
      limits only apply to the statistics and aggregated outputs generated
      with -a -s.  To filter netflow records by packets and bytes, use the
      filter syntax 'packets' and 'bytes' described below.

   -n num
      For  record  statistics  (-s  .. ): Define the number for the Top N.
      Defaults to 10.  Use -n 0 to list all records.
      For record sorting and aggregation (-a .. -O ..): Limit the  records
      to  the  first  top num sorted records.  if not specified or -n 0 is
      given, all records are listed.

   -o format
      Selects the output format to print flows or flow  record  statistics
      (-s record). The following formats are available:
        raw      Print each file flow record on multiple lines.
        line     Print each flow on one line. Default format.
        long     Print each flow on one line with more details
        biline   Same as line, but for bidir flows
        bilong   Same as long, but for bidir flows
        extended Print each flow on one line with even more details.
        nsel      Print  each  NSEL event on one line. Default if NSEL/ASA
        enabled.
        nel      Print each NAT event on one line. Default if NEL enabled.
        csv      Comma separated output for machine readable processing.
        pipe     Legacy machine readable format: fields '|' separated.
        fmt:format User defined output format.
      For each defined output format except -o fmt:<format> an  IPv6  long
      output  format  exists.   line6,  long6  and  extended6.  See output
      formats below for more information.

   -q Suppress the header line and the statistics at the bottom.

   -N Print plain numbers in output. Easier for post-parsing.

   -i ident
      Change ident label in file, specified by -r to ident

   -v file
      Verify  file.  Print  data  file  version,  number  of  blocks   and
      compression status.

   -E file
      Print  exporter/sampler  list  found  in  file.  In case of a nfcapd
      collector file, an additional statistics  per  exporter  is  printed
      with number of flows, packets and sequence errors.

   -x file
      Scan and print extension maps located in file file

   -j Compress  flows. Use bz2 compression in output file. Space efficient
      method

   -z Compress flows. Use fast LZO1X-1 compression in  output  file.  Time
      efficient method

   -J num
      Change compression for file(s) given by -r <file> or -R <dir> num: 0
      uncompress, 1: LZO1X-1 compression, 2: bz2 compression

   -Z Check filter syntax and exit. Sets the return value accordingly.

   -X Compiles the filer syntax and  dumps  the  filter  engine  table  to
      stdout.  This is for debugging purpose only.

   -V Print nfdump version and exit.

   -h Print help text on stdout with all options and exit.

RETURN VALUE

   Returns
       0   No error.
       255 Initialization failed.
       254 Error in filter syntax.
       250 Internal error.

OUTPUT FORMATS

   The  output  format  raw  prints  each  flow  record on multiple lines,
   including all information available in the record.  This  is  the  most
   detailed view on a flow.

   Other  output  formats  print  each  flow  on a single line. Predefined
   output formats are line, long and extended The output  format  line  is
   the  default  output format when no format is specified.  It limits the
   imformation to the connection details as well  as  number  of  packets,
   bytes and flows.

   The  output  format  long is identical to the format line, and includes
   additional information such as TCP flags and Type of Service.

   The output format  extended  is  identical  to  the  format  long,  and
   includes additional computed information such as pps, bps and bpp.

   Fields:

      Date  flow  start:  Start  time  flow  first  seen.  ISO 8601 format
      including miliseconds.

      Duration: Duration of the flow in seconds and miliseconds.  If flows
      are aggregated, duration is the time span over the entire periode of
      time from first seen to last seen.

      Proto: Protocol used in the connection.

      Src IP Addr:Port: Source IP address and source port.

      Dst IP Addr:Port: Destination IP address and destination  port.   In
      case of ICMP, port is decodes as type.code.

      Flags: TCP flags ORed of the connection.

      Tos: Type of service.

      Packets:   The  number  of  packets  in  this  flow.  If  flows  are
      aggregated, the packets are summed up.

      Bytes: The number of bytes in this flow. If  flows  are  aggregated,
      the bytes are summed up.

      pps:  The  calculated  packets  per  second:  number  of  packets  /
      duration.  If flows are aggregated this results in the  average  pps
      during this periode of time.

      bps: The calculated bits per second: 8 * number of bytes / duration.
      If flows are aggregated this results in the average bps during  this
      periode of time.

      Bpp:  The  calculated  bytes per packet: number of bytes / number of
      packets. If flows are aggregated this results  in  the  average  bpp
      during this periode of time.

      Flows:  Number  of  flows.  If flows are listed only, this number is
      always 1.  If  flows  are  aggregated,  this  shows  the  number  of
      aggregated flows to one record.

   Numbers  larger  than 1'000'000 (1000*1000), are scaled to 4 digits and
   one decimal digit including the scaling factor M, G or  T  for  cleaner
   output, e.g. 923.4 M

   To  make  the output more readable, IPv6 addresses are shrinked down to
   16 characters. The seven most and seven least digits connected with two
   dots  '..'  are  displayed in any normal output formats. To display the
   full IPv6 address, use the appropriate long format, which is the format
   name followed by a 6.

   Example:  -o line displays an IPv6 address as 2001:23..80:d01e where as
   the  format  -o  line6  displays  the  IPv6  address  in  full   length
   2001:234:aabb::211:24ff:fe80:d01e.   The  combination  of -o line -6 is
   equivalent to -o line6.

   The output format fmt:<format> allows you to  define  your  own  output
   format.   A  format  description  format  consists  of  a  single  line
   containing arbitrary strings and format specifier as described below

      %<format> Inserts the predefined format at this position. e.g. %line
      %ff       flow record flags in hex.

   The "flow flags" format (%ff) prints the internal  record  flags  as  a
   single hexadecimal number, consisting of any of these flag values or-ed
   together:

      1    Record contains IPv6 addresses
      2    Packet counters are 64-bit
      4    Byte counters are 64-bit
      8    IP next hop is an IPv6 address
      16   BGP next hop is an IPv6 address
      32   Exporting router is an IPv6 address
      64   Record is an EVENT record
      128  Record is sampled

   Example: the standard output format long can be created as
      -o "fmt:%ts %td %pr %sap -> %dap %flg %tos %pkt %byt %fl"

   You may also define your own output format and have  it  compiled  into
   nfdump.  See nfdump.c section Output Formats for more details.

   The  csv  output  format  is intended to be read by another program for
   further processing. As an example, see the parse_csv.pl  Perl  program.
   The  cvs  output  format  consists of one or more output blocks and one
   summary block. Each output block starts with a cvs index line  followed
   by  the cvs record lines. The index lines describes the order, how each
   following record is composed.

   Example:
      Index line:   ts,te,td,sa,da,sp,dp,pr,...
      Record line:  2004-07-11 10:30:00,2004-07-11 10:30:10,10.010,...

   All records are in ASCII readable form. Numbers are not scaled, so each
   line can easily be parsed.

   Indices used in nfdump 1.6:

      ts,te,td    time records: t-start, t-end, duration
      sa,da       src dst address sp,dp       src, dst port
      pr          protocol PF_INET or PF_INET6

FILTER

   The  filter  syntax  is  similar to the well known pcap library used by
   tcpdump.  The filter can be either specified on the command line  after
   all  options or in a separate file. It can span several lines. Anything
   after a '#' is treated as a comment and ignored to the end of the line.
   There is virtually no limit in the length of the filter expression. All
   keywords are case independent.

   Any filter consists of one or more expressions expr. Any number of expr
   can be linked together:

   expr and expr, expr or expr, not expr and ( expr ).

   Expr can be one of the following filter primitives:

   include
       @include <file>
       include the content of <file> into filter.

   ip version
       inet  or ipv4 for IPv4
       inet6 or ipv6 for IPv6

   protocol
       proto <protocol>
       proto <number>
       where  <protocol>  is known protocol such as tcp, udp, icmp, icmp6,
       gre, esp, ah, etc. or a valid protocol number: 6, 17 etc.

   IP address
       [src|dst] ip <ipaddr>
       [src|dst] host <ipaddr>
       with <ipaddr> as any valid IPv4, IPv6 address, or a full  qualified
       hostname.   In  case  of a hostname, the IP address is looked up in
       DNS.  If more than a single IP address is found, all  IP  addresses
       are chained together. (ip1 or ip2 or ip3 ... )

       To check if an IP address is in a known IP list, use
       [src|dst] ip in [ <iplist> ]
       [src|dst] host in [ <iplist> ]
       <iplist>  is a space or comma separated list of individual <ipaddr>
       or full qualified hostnames, which are looked up in  DNS.  If  more
       than  a  single  IP address is found, all IP addresses are put into
       the list.

   [src|dst]
       IP addresses, networks, ports, AS number etc. can  be  specifically
       selected  by using a direction qualifier, such as src or dst.  They
       can also be used in combination with and and or.  such as  src  and
       dst ip ...

   network
       [src|dst] net a.b.c.d m.n.r.s
       Select the IPv4 network a.b.c.d with netmask m.n.r.s.

       [src|dst] net <net>/<num>
       with  <net>  as a valid IPv4 or IPv6 network and <num> as maskbits.
       The number of mask bits must match the appropriate address  familiy
       in  IPv4  or  IPv6. Networks may be abreviated such as 172.16/16 if
       they are unambiguous.

   Port
       [src|dst] port [comp] <num>
       with <num> as any valid port number.  If comp is omitted,
        '=' is assumed. comp is explained more detailed below.
       [src|dst] port in [ <portlist> ]
       A port can be compared against a know list, where <portlist>  is  a
       space separated list of individual port numbers.

   ICMP
       icmp-type <num>
       icmp-code <num>
       with  <num>  as  a valid icmp type/code. This automatically implies
       proto icmp.

   Router ID
       engine-type <num>
       engine-id <num>
       sysid <num>
       with <num> as a valid router engine type/id or exporter ID(0..255).

   Interface
       [in|out] if <num>
       Select input or output or either interface ID, with num as the SNMP
       interface number.
       Example: in if 3

   AS numbers
       [src|dst|prev|next] as [comp] <num>
       Selects  source,  dstination,  previous, next or any AS number with
       <num> as any valid as number. 32bit AS  numbers  are  suported.  If
       comp  is  omitted,  '=' is assumed. comp is explained more detailed
       below.

       [src|dst|prev|next] as in [ <ASlist> ]
       An AS number can be compared against a know list, where <ASlist> is
       a space or comma separated list of individual AS numbers.

   Prefix mask bits
       [src|dst] mask <bits>
       with <bits> as any valid prefix mask bit value.

   Vlan labels
       [src|dst] vlan <num>
       with <num> as any valid vlan label.

   Flags
       flags <tcpflags>
       with <tcpflags> as a combination of:
          A    ACK.
          S    SYN.
          F    FIN.
          R    Reset.
          P    Push.
          U    Urgent.
          X    All flags on.
   The  ordering  of  the  flags  is not relevant. Flags not mentioned are
   treated as don't care.  In order to get those flows with only  the  SYN
   flag set, use the syntax 'flags S and not flags AFRPU'.

   Next hop IP
       next ip <ipaddr>
       with <ipaddr> as IPv4/IPv6 IP address of next hop router.

   Next-hop router's IP in the BGP domain
       bgpnext ip <ipaddr>
       with  <ipaddr> as IPv4/IPv6 next-hop router's IP in the BGP domain.
       ( v9 #18 )

   Router IP
       router ip <ipaddr>
       Filter the flows according the IP address of the exporting router.

   MAC addresses
       [InOutSrcDst] mac <addr>
       With <addr> any  valid  MAC  address.  mac  can  be  more  specific
       specified  by  using  any  combination  of a direction specifier as
       defined by CISCO v9.  in src, in dst, out src, out dst.

   MPLS labels
       mpls label<n> [comp] <num>
       With <n> as any mpls label number 1..10. Filters exactly  specified
       label<n>.
       mpls eos [comp] <num>
       Filters End of Stack label for a given value <num>.
       mpls exp<n> [comp] <bits>
       Filters experimental bits of label <n> with <bits> 0..7.

   Packets
       packets [comp] <num> [scale]
       To filter for netflow records with a specific packet count.
       Example: packets > 1k

   Bytes
       bytes [comp] <num> [scale]
       To filter for netflow records with a specific byte count.
       Example: bytes 46 filters all empty IPv4 packets

   Aggregated flows
       flows [comp] <num> [scale]
       To  filter for netflow records with a specific number of aggregated
       flows.

   Type of Service (TOS)
       [SourceDestination] tos <num>
       With <num> 0..255. For compatibility with nfump 1.5.x: tos <num> is
       equivalent with src tos <num>

   Packets per second: Calculated value.
       pps [comp] num [scale]
       To filter for flows with specific packets per second.

NOTES

   Generating  the  statistics  for  data  files of a few hundred MB is no
   problem. However be careful if you want to create statistics of several
   GB of data. This may consume a lot of memory and can take a while. Flow
   anonymization has moved into nfanon.
