flow-rpt2rrd(1)flow-rpt2rrd(1)NAMEflow-rpt2rrd — Convert flow-report CSV output to RRDtool format.
SYNOPSISflow-rpt2rrd [-nv] [-d debug_level] [-k keys] [-K keys_file] [-f
fields] [-p rrd_path] [-P rrd_postfix] [-r rrd_storage]
DESCRIPTION
The flow-rpt2rrd utility processes the CSV output of flow-report into
RRDtool format. The aggregates for a key are each stored as a DS in
RRD filename {rrd_path,"/",key,rrd_postfix,".rrd"}. By default a DS is
created for flows, octets, and packets. The key must be specified, for
example an ip-port report could use smtp,nntp,ssh,telnet as the keys
which would create a separate RRD for each key.
OPTIONS-d debug_level
Set debug level to debug_level (debugging code)
-h Help.
-k keys|html
Comma separated list of key values. If the report has sym‐
bols then the key must be the symbol, ie smtp not 25. The
totals_* lines may be used if they are enabled in the report.
There is no default, keys must be specified with -k or -K.
-K keys_file
Load keys from keys_file. See -k.
-f Comma separated list of columns to store. Each column maps
to a DS in the RRD. Defaults to flows,octets,packets
-n Enable symbol table lookups. For example TCP port 25 = smtp.
This will result in RRD file names with the symbolic names if
symbol lookups were not enabled in the report.
-p rrd_path
Set path to RRD files. Defaults to ".".
-P rrd_postfix
Set RRD file name postfix. Defaults to "".
-r rrd_storage
Set RRD storage for 5 minute, 30 minute, 2 hour, and 1 day
databases. List items are : seperated. Defaults to
600:600:600:732.
-v Enable verbose output.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows the combined use of flow-nfilter (inline),
flow-report, and flow-rpt2rrd to create an RRD depicting traffic
from clmbo-r4 to AS 10796 and 6478 for 2004-11-08. rrdtool graph is
then used to create a .png.

BUGS
Hard coded to expect 5 minute flow file intervals. Does not properly
parse flow-report time-series output.
