NAME

       ralabel.conf - ralabel resource file.

SYNOPSIS

       ralabel.conf

DESCRIPTION

       This configuration is a ralabel(1) configuration file.

       The  concept is to provide a number of labeling strategies with configuration capabilities
       for each of the labelers.  This allows the user to specify  the  order  of  the  labeling,
       which is provided to support hierarchical labeling.

       Here is a valid and simple configuration file.   It doesn't do anything in particular, but
       it is one that is used at some sites.

Supported Labeling Strategies

Addresss Based Classification

       Address based classifications involve building a patricia tree that  we  can  hang  labels
       against.   The  strategy  is  to order the address label configuration files, to develop a
       hierarchical label scheme.

IANA IPv4 and IPv6 Address Classification Labeling

RALABEL_IANA_ADDRESS

       The type of IP network address can be used by many analysis programs  to  make  decisions.
       While  IANA  standard  classifications don't change, this type of classification should be
       extendable to allow local sites to provide additional labeling capabilities.

       RALABEL_IANA_ADDRESS=yes
       RALABEL_IANA_ADDRESS_FILE="/usr/local/argus/iana-address-file"

Addresss Based Country Code Classification

RALABEL_ARIN_COUNTRY_CODES

       Address based country code classification leverages the feature  where  ra*  clients  cant
       print  country  codes  for  the IP addresses that are in a flow record.  Country codes are
       generated from the ARIN delegated address space  files.   Specify  the  location  of  your
       DELEGATED_IP file here, or in your .rarc file (which is default).

       Unlike  the  GeoIP  based  country  code  labeling, these codes can be sorted filtered and
       aggregated, so if you want to do that type of operations with country codes,  enable  this
       feature here.

       RALABEL_ARIN_COUNTRY_CODES=yes
       RA_DELEGATED_IP="/usr/local/argus/delegated-ipv4-latest"

BIND Based Classification

RALABEL_BIND_NAME

       BIND  services  provide  address to name translations, and these reverse lookup strategies
       can provide FQDN labels, or domain labels that can be added to  flow.   The  IP  addresses
       that  can  be  ´labeled'  are  the  saddr,  daddr, or inode.  Keywords "yes" and "all" are
       synonomous and result in labeling all three IP addresses.

       Use this strategy to provide transient semantic enhancement based on ip address values.

       RALABEL_BIND_NAME="all"

Port Based Classification

RALABEL_IANA_PORT

       Port based classifications involves simple assignment of a text label to a  specific  port
       number.  While IANA standard classifications are supported throught the Unix /etc/services
       file assignments, and the basic "src port" and "dst port" ra* filter schemes, this  scheme
       is  used to enhance/modify that labeling strategy.  The text associated with a port number
       is placed in the metadata label field,  and  is  searched  using  the  regular  expression
       searching strategies that are available to label matching.

       Use this strategy to provide transient semantic enhancement based on port values.

       RALABEL_IANA_PORT=yes
       RALABEL_IANA_PORT_FILE="/usr/local/argus/iana-port-numbers"

Flow Filter Based Classification

       Flow  filter  based  classification  uses the standard flow filter strategies to provide a
       general purpose labeling scheme.  The concept is similar  to  racluster()'s  fall  through
       matching  scheme.  Fall through the list of filters, if it matches, add the label.  If you
       want to continue through the list, once there is a match,  add a "cont" to the end of  the
       matching rule.

RALABEL_ARGUS_FLOW

       RALABEL_ARGUS_FLOW=yes
       RALABEL_ARGUS_FLOW_FILE="/usr/local/argus/argus-flow-file"

GeoIP Based Labeling

       The  labeling  features  can  use  the  databases provided by MaxMind using the GeoIP LGPL
       libraries.  If your code was configured to use these libraries, then enable  the  features
       here.

       GeoIP  provides a lot of support for geo-location, configure support by enabling a feature
       and providing the appropriate binary data files.  ASN reporting is done  from  a  separate
       set  of data files, obtained from MaxMind.com, and so enabling this feature is independent
       of the traditional city data available.

RALABEL_GEOIP_ASN

       Labeling data with Origin ASN values  involves  simply  indicating  the  desire,  and  the
       filename for the database of ASN numbers.

       RALABEL_GEOIP_ASN=yes
       RALABEL_GEOIP_ASN_FILE="/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIPASNum.dat"

RALABEL_GEOIP_CITY

       Data  for city relevant data is enabled through enabling and configuring the city database
       support.  The types of data available are:
               country_code, country_code3, country_name, region, city, postal_code,
               latitude, longitude, metro_code, area_code and continent_code.
               time_offset is also available.

       The concept is that you should be able to add semantics for any IP address that is in  the
       argus record.  Support addresses are:
               saddr, daddr, inode

       The labels provided will be tagged as:
               scity, dcity, icity

       To  configure  what  you  want  to  have  placed in the label, use the list of objects, in
       whatever order you like, as the RALABLE_GEOPIP_CITY string using these keywords:
               cco   - country_code
               cco3  - country_code3
               cname - country_name
               reg   - region
               city  - city
               pcode - postal_code
               lat   - latitude
               long  - longitude
               metro - metro_code
               area  - area_code
               cont  - continent_code
               off   - GMT time offset

       Working examples could be:
               RALABEL_GEOIP_CITY="saddr,daddr:lat/lon"
               RALABEL_GEOIP_CITY="*:city,region,cname,lat,lon"

       RALABEL_GEOIP_CITY="saddr,daddr,inode:lat,lon"
       RALABEL_GEOIP_CITY_FILE="/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIPCity.dat"
