NAME
flow-export — Export flow-tools files into other NetFlow packages.
SYNOPSIS
flow-export [-h] [-d debug_level] [-f format] [-m mask_fields] [-u
user:password:host:port:name:table]
DESCRIPTION
The flow-export utility will convert flow-tools flow files to ASCII CSV, cflowd, pcap,
wire, mySQL, and PGSQL format.
OPTIONS
-d debug_level
Enable debugging.
-f format Export format. Supported formats are:
0 cflowd
1 pcap
2 ASCII CSV
3 MySQL
4 wire
5 PGSQL
-h Display help.
-m mask_fields
Select fields for MySQL, PostgresSQL, cflowd, and ASCII formats. Add the mask
arguments in the order shown below. The mask_fields is built from a bitwise OR
of the following:

is defined as the following:

INDEX_V8_3_MASK 0x00C14D8B
INDEX_V8_4_MASK 0x00C28D95
INDEX_V8_5_MASK 0x00C3CD9F
The default value is all fields applicable to the the flow file, or the cflowd
INDEX mask applicabable to the export format.
-u user:password:host:port:name:table
Configure MySQL or PostgresSQL Access.
EXAMPLES
Convert the flow-tools file flows to the cflowd file flows.cflowd. Include all fields.
flow-export -f0 < flows > flows.cflowd
EXAMPLES
Convert the flow-tools file flows to the ASCII. Include the SRCADDR and DSTADDR fields.
flow-export -f2 -m0x3000 < flows > flows.ascii
EXAMPLES
Export the flow-tools file flows to an MySQL Database. Include only SRCADDR, DSTADDR and
DOCTETS.
flow-export -f3 -mDOCTETS,SRCADDR,DSTADDR -u "user:password:host:port:name:table" <
flows
BUGS
The pcap format is a hack.
