Ubuntu Manpage: ragraph - graph argus(8) data.

Provided by: argus-client_3.0.8.2-5ubuntu1_amd64

NAME

       ragraph - graph argus(8) data.

SYNOPSIS

       ragraph metric [object] [-M mode] [options] [raoptions] [-- filter-expression]

DESCRIPTION

Ragraph reads argus(8) data from an argus-file, and graphs fields of interest from matching argus flow
activity records. You must specify the metric(s), the flow object/identifier(s) and the time granularity
required for the graph. Standard raoptions are available to filter input and specify the time range of
interest, and graphing options are provided to specify x and y axis labels, titles, upper and lower range
limits, and plot sizes. Support for logorithmic scaling, object stacking, and split graphing are
provided to provide some flexibility in the graphs you can produce.

Ragraph supports graphing most metrics that are available in argus data, including, bytes, packet counts,
average duration, loss, jitter, load, and rate. These metrics can be graphed in association with flow
identifiers, such as source or destination address, network address, source identifier, protocol, port
numbers, services, vlan id, mpls tag, ttl, and tos values. Currently, there are limits to the number of
metrics and objects that can be graphed at one time, so assume that ragraph is a simple graphing tool.

By default ragraph writes its output to ragraph.png, in the current directory. Use the '-w' raoption to
specify an alternate output filename.

Ragraph is implemented as a perl script front-end to the routine rabins and rrd-tool, which is used to
generate PNG formatted graphs. As a result ragraph supports all the raoption and most of the options to
the rrd-tool graphing functions.

RA OPTIONS

       Ragraph,  like  all  ra based clients, supports a number of ra options including filtering of input argus
       records through a terminating filter expression, and specifying an output filename using the -w option.

       See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options.

RRDTOOL GRAPH OPTIONS

       Ragraph, when using rrdtool as  the  graphing  backend,  will  pass  rrdgraph  specific  options  to  the
       appropriate rrdtool module.  These are the specific rrdtool options that are supported.

Appearance

       -fill
           Turn off area fill.

       -stack
           Turn off data stacking.

       -split
           Turn off axis splitting for src/dst(in/out) traffic.

       -invert
           Invert a split graph, so that src and dest data are flipped.

       -rigid
           Pass rrdtool rigid parameter to rrdgraph.

Labels

       -title string
           Specify a graph title.

       -vertical-label string
           Specify a vertically placed yaxis label.

Size

       -height pixels
           Specify height in pixels for the graph (275 pixels)

       -width pixels
           Specify width in pixels for the graph (800 pixels)

       -only-graph
           Generate only the graph with out any borders, title, labels, legend.

Limits

       -upper value
           Specify upper bounds for graphing data (automatic).

       -lower value
           Specify  lower  bounds  for  graphing  data (automatic).  When data is split, you need to specify the
           value as a negative number.

       -alt-autoscale

       -alt-autoscale-max
           Use rrdtool alternate y-axis autoscale algorithm.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -no-gridfit
           Disable rrdtool grid scale modification strategies.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

Grid

       -x-grid GTM:GST:MTM:MST:LTM:LST:LPR:LFM | none
           Modify rrdtool x-axis label definition.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -y-grid 'grid step:label factor' | none
           Modify rrdtool y-axis label definition.  The use of ' is important to parsing the  option  correctly.
           See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -alt-y-grid
           Modify rrdtool default y-grid behavior.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -log
           Use logarithmic scale for y-axis.

       -units-exponent value
           Set the 10** exponent scaling of the y-axis.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -units-length value
           Set the width of the y-axis border.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -units=si
           Turn off expoenential notation for logarithmic graphs.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

Miscellaneous

       -imginfo printfstr
           Adds img information to the graph.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -zoom factor
           Zoom the graphics by the given factor.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -font FONTTAG:size:[font]
           Modify rrdgraph default font.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -font-render-mode {normal,light,mono}
           Modify rrdgraph font smoothing strength.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -font-smoothing-threshold size
           Modify rrdgraph font smoothing font size.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -slope-mode
           Modify rrdgraph slope-mode option.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -no-legend
           Supress generation of the legend.

       -watermark string
           Adds the given string as a watermark.  See rrdgraph manpage for information.

       -norrdwmark
           Disables the default rrdtool watermark from appearing on the graph.

EXAMPLES

       To graph the total load for the data in an argus-file argus.data at 10 second intervals:
              ragraph bytes -M 10s -r argus.data -title "Total Load"

       To  graph  the rate (pkt/sec) on a destination port basis for the data from a specific probe in an argus-
       file argus.data at 1 minute intervals:
              ragraph bytes dport -M 1m -r argus.data - srcid 192.168.0.10
