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

0 No error.

255 Initialization failed.

254 Error in filter syntax.

250 Internal error.

OUTPUT FORMATS

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
flg TCP Flags:

         000001 FIN.

         000010 SYN

         000100 RESET

         001000 PUSH
