NAME

rwguess - Determine which SNMP interfaces are active


SYNOPSIS

  rwguess [{ --top=NUM | --print-all }] PDU_FILE [PDU_FILE...]
  rwguess --help
  rwguess --version


DESCRIPTION

rwguess reads NetFlow v5 PDUs from file(s) specified on the command line. The files are expected to be in the form created by NetFlow Collector: Each file's size must be an integer multiple of 1464, where each 1464 byte chunk contains a 24 byte NetFlow v5 header and space for thirty 48 byte NetFlow records. The number of valid records per chunk is specified in the PDU header.

rwguess counts the number of flow records that are seen on each input and output SNMP interface. Once all input has been processed, rwguess sorts the SNMP interfaces by the number of records each interface saw, and prints the two sorted lists, one for the input interfaces and one for the output interfaces. By default, only the top-10 interfaces are printed; the number of rows printed may be changed with the --top switch.

When the --print-all switch is specified, the results are printed in SNMP interface order, with one column for the input record count and another for the output record count, and one row for each interface that saw traffic.


OPTIONS

Option names may be abbreviated if the abbreviation is unique or is an exact match for an option. A parameter to an option may be specified as --arg=param or --arg param, though the first form is required for options that take optional parameters.

--top=NUM

Print the top NUM interfaces for each of input and output. If not specified, the default is to print the top 10 interfaces.

--print-all

Print all SNMP interfaces that saw records, sorted by the SNMP interface number. This switch disables top-N printing.

--help

Print the available options and exit.

--version

Print the version number and information about how SiLK was configured, then exit the application.
