RACOUNT(1) General Commands Manual RACOUNT(1)

NAME

racount - count things from an argus(8) data file/stream.

SYNOPSIS

racount [-M addr proto] [raoptions] [-- filter-expression]

DESCRIPTION

Racount reads argus data from an argus-file list, and prints out various counts from the data in the file. Racount supports, by default, a single line output that provide total records and pkt and byte counts, broken down by source and destination.

OPTIONS

Racount, 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.

racount specfic options are:

Supported modes are:

Print a count breakdown on protocols seen. racount will report on IP protocols, ether protocols, arp, rarp and unknowwn.

Print a summary report of the occurence of the various types of network addresses encountered. The current list of IANA standard network address types include:
IPv4 Unicast ThisNet, Reserved, LoopBack, LinkLocal, TestNet and Private
IPv4 Multicast Local, Internet, AdHoc, Reserved, SdpSap, Nasdaq, DisTrans, SrcSpec, Glop, Admin, OrgLocal and SiteLocal
IPv6 Loopback, LinkLocal, SiteLocal, Global, V4Compat, V4Mapped and Unspecified
IPv6 MulticastNodeLocal, MulticastLinkLocal, MulticastSiteLocal, MulticastOrgLocal and MulticastGlobal

EXAMPLE INVOCATION

This example runs racount against a single argus data file, generating the default output.

% racount -r argus.2012.02.13.17.20.00.out.gz
racount   records     total_pkts     src_pkts       dst_pkts       total_bytes        src_bytes          dst_bytes


    sum   336         21319          9266           12053          16954495           1329172            15625323

This example runs racount against a directory containing argus data, generating a protocol breakdown as well as generating a network address summary.

% racount -M proto addr -r argus.2012.02.13.17.20.00.out.gz
racount   records     total_pkts     src_pkts       dst_pkts       total_bytes        src_bytes          dst_bytes


    sum   336         21319          9266           12053          16954495           1329172            15625323
