NAME

rasort - sort argus(8) data file.

SYNOPSIS

rasort [[-s sortfield] [-s sortfield] ...] [raoptions]

DESCRIPTION

Rasort reads argus data from an argus-data source, sorts the records based on the criteria specified on the command line, and outputs a valid argus-stream.

OPTIONS

Rasort, 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. rasort(1) specific options are:

-s sortfield: Supported sortfields are:

startime: record start time <default>
lasttime: record last time.
duration: record duration.
srcaddr: source IP addr.
dstaddr: destination IP addr.
proto: transaction protocol.
sport: source port number.
dport: destination port number.
stos: source TOS byte value.
dtos: destination TOS byte value.
sttl: src -> dst TTL value.
dttl: dst -> src TTL value.
bytes: total transaction bytes.
srcbytes: src -> dst transaction bytes.
dstbytes: dst -> src transaction bytes.
packets: total transaction packet count.
srcpackets: src -> dst packet count.
dstpackets: dst -> src packet count.

-v: Reverse the result of comparisons.

INVOCATION

A sample invocation of rasort(1). This call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and sorts the IP protocol based argus(8) data, first by the destination IP address, then by the service (destination) port number and then by the source IP address, and writes the results to stdout. For most services, this arranges argus(8) formatted data by server, service, and then by client.

rasort -r inputfile -s dstaddr -s dport -s srcaddr - ip
