trace-summary(1) generate network traffic summaries

SYNOPSIS

trace-summary [,options/] ,<pcap-file>|<conn-summaries>/

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the trace-summary program.

trace-summary is a Python script that generates break-downs of network traffic, including lists of the top hosts, protocols, ports, etc. Optionally, it can generate output separately for incoming vs. outgoing traffic, per subnet, and per time-interval.

Per default, it assumes the input-file to be a libpcap trace file. If it is a Bro connection log, use -c. If input-file is not given, the script reads from stdin. It writes its output to stdout.

OPTIONS

--version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-b, --bytes
count fractions in terms of bytes rather than packets/connections
-c, --conn-summaries
input file contains Bro connection summaries
--conn-version=,CONN_VERSION/
when used with -c, specify '1' for use with Bro version 1.x connection logs, or '2' for use with Bro 2.x format. '0' tries to guess the format
-C, --chema
for packets: include only TCP, ignore when seq==0
-e, --external
ignore strictly internal traffic
-E EXCLUDENETS, --exclude-nets=,EXCLUDENETS/
excludes CIDRs in file from analysis
-i ILEN, --intervals=,ILEN/
create summaries for time intervals of given length
-l LOCALNETS, --local-nets=,LOCALNETS/
differentiate in/out based on CIDRs in file
-n TOPX, --topn=,TOPX/
show top <n>
-p PORTS, --ports=,PORTS/
include only ports listed in file
-P STOREPORTS, --write-ports=,STOREPORTS/
write top total/incoming/outgoing ports into files
-r, --resolve-host-names
resolve host names
-R tag, --R=,tag/
write output suitable for R into files <tag.*>
-s FACTOR, --sample-factor=,FACTOR/
sample factor of input
-S SAMPLE, --do-sample=,SAMPLE/
sample input with probability (0.0 < prob < 1.0)
-m, --save-mem
do not make memory-expensive statistics
-t, --tcp
include only TCP
-u, --udp
include only UDP
-U MINTIME, --min-time=,MINTIME/
minimum time in ISO format (e.g. 2005-12-31-23-59-00)
-v, --verbose
show top-n for every interval
-V MAXTIME, --max-time=,MAXTIME/
maximum time in ISO format
