NAME

       nfreplay - netflow replay program

SYNOPSIS

       nfreplay [options] [filter]

DESCRIPTION

       nfreplay  is  the netflow replay program of the nfdump tool set.  It reads data from files
       stored by nfcapd and sents the netflow data to a host or  a  multicat  group.  The  filter
       syntax is equivalent to nfdump. If a filter is supplied, only the matching flows are sent.
       See the nfdump(1) man page for a detailed description of the filter  syntax.  All  records
       are sent as netflow version 5.

OPTIONS

       -H remotehost
          Send  all flows to this remote host. Accepts a symbolic name or a IPv4/IPv6 IP address.
          Defaults to IPv4 localhost 127.0.0.1.

       -j mcastgroup
          Join this multicast group and send all flows to this group  host.  Accepts  a  symbolic
          name or multicast IPv4/IPv6 IP address.

       -p port
          Send all flows to this port on the remote side. Default is 9995.

       -4 Forces  nfreplay  to send flows to a IPv4 address only. Can be used together with -i if
          the remote host has an IPv4 and IPv6 address record.

       -6 Forces nfreplay to send flows to a IPv6 address only. Can be used together with  -i  if
          the remote host has an IPv4 and IPv6 address record.

       -v num
          Send  flows  as  netflow version num. 5 and 9 are supported. The default is sending the
          flows as netflow version 5. In version 5  mode,  IPv6  flows,  are  skipped  and  64bit
          counters are truncated to 32bit.

       -d usec
          Delay  each  record by usec mirco seconds, to avoid overrun on the remote side. Default
          is 10.

       -b buffersize
          Set send buffer size in bytes. Useful for large data to  transfer.  Default  is  system
          dependent.

       -r inputfile
          Read input data from inputfile. Default is read from stdin.

       -t timewin
          Send   only   flows,   which  fall  in  the  time  window  timewin,  where  timewin  is
          YYYY/MM/dd.hh:mm:ss[-YYYY/MM/dd.hh:mm:ss]. Any parts of the time spec  may  be  omitted
          e.g  YYYY/MM/dd  expands  to YYYY/MM/dd.00:00:00-YYYY/MM/dd.23:59:59 and sends all flow
          from a given day.

       -c num
          Limit number of records to send to the first num flows.

       -V Print nfreplay version and exit.

       -h Print help text on stdout with all options and exit.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns
           0   No error.
           255 Initialization failed.
           254 Error in filter syntax.
           250 Internal error.
