flow-rptfmt(1)                       General Commands Manual                       flow-rptfmt(1)

NAME

       flow-rptfmt — Format the output of flow-report in ASCII or HTML

SYNOPSIS

       flow-rptfmt  [-hHnp]   [-a  alarm_time]   [-f  format]   [-F  fields]  [-m max_lines]  [-s
       sort_field]

DESCRIPTION

       The flow-rptfmt utility processes the CSV output of flow-report into  formatted  ASCII  or
       HTML.  Sorting, maximum display lines, field filter, header display, and name substitution
       are supported during post processing.  Additionally an alarm can be set  for  use  in  CGI
       scripts to limit the CPU time of formatting.

OPTIONS

       -a alarm_time
                 Exit after alarm_time seconds.

       -f ascii|html
                 Set output format.  Defaults to ASCII.

       -F display_fields
                 Limit columns to display_fields

       -h        Help.

       -H        Display header information.

       -m max_lines
                 Limit rows to max_lines.

       -n        Enable symbol table lookups.

       -p        Display in percent total form.

       -s sort_field
                 Sort on sort_field.  Prepend with + for ascending, - for descending sort.

EXAMPLES

       Format  the  output of daily-ip-protocol.txt in ASCII.  Display the ip-protocol and octets
       fields in percent total format with symbols.  Limit output to top 5 sorted by octets.

           cat daily-ip-protocol.txt | flow-rptfmt -fascii -Fip-protocol,octets -p -n -m5

BUGS

       Sorting could be faster.  Percent totals could be faster.  May not work  with  flow-report
       prior to 0.68.
