SYNOPSIS

       nield [-vh46inarft] [-p lock_file] [-s buffer_size] [-l log_file] [-L syslog_facility] [-d debug_file]

DESCRIPTION

       nield  (Network  Interface  Events Logging Daemon) is a tool to receive notifications from kernel through
       netlink  socket,  and  generate  logs  related  to  interfaces,  neighbor  cache  (ARP,NDP),  IP  address
       (IPv4,IPv6), routing, FIB rules, traffic control.  It can be configured using command-line options.

       The following options are supported.

       Standard options:

       -v     Displays the version and exit.

       -h     Displays the usage and exit.

       -p lock_file
              Specifies the lock file to use. Default is "/var/run/nield.pid", if not specified.

       -s buffer_size
              Specifies the maximum socket receive buffer in bytes.

       Logging options:

                  auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, ftp, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, security, syslog,
                  user, uucp, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, local7

       -d debug_file
              Specifies the debug file to use.

       Event options:
              All events are received, if any event option not specified.

       -4     Logging events related to IPv4.

       -6     Logging events related to IPv6.

       -i     Logging events related to interfaces.

       -n     Logging events related to neigbour cache(ARP, NDP).

       -a     Logging events related to IP address.

       -r     Logging events related to routing.

       -f     Logging events related to fib rules.

       -t     Logging events related to traffic control.
