NAME

       rasql - read argus(8) data from mysql database.

SYNOPSIS

       rasql [-M sql='where clause'] -r mysql://user@host/db/table [raoptions] [-- filter-expression]

DESCRIPTION

       Rasql reads argus data from an argus-client generated mysql database.

       The  principal function of rasql is to extract the 'record' binary blob that is inserted by rasqlinsert.1
       when adding argus data to a mysql table.

RASQL SPECIFIC OPTIONS

       Rasql, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options  including  filtering  of  input  argus
       records through a terminating filter expression.  rasql(1) specific options are:

       -M sql='where clause'
           This  appends  the 'where clause' to the SELECT mysql database command.  providing a means to use SQL
           select and join strategies when performing queries.

INVOCATION

       This invocation reads argus(8) data from the table table that is contained in the db database, using  the
       user  database account, and instructs MySQL to select records where the database attribute 'saddr' equals
       to the string '2.3.4.5'.

          rasql -r mysql://user@localhost/db/table -M sql="saddr='2.3.4.5'"
