IPFIXDUMP(1) Yet Another Flowmeter IPFIXDUMP(1)
NAME
ipfixDump - IPFIX file dumper
SYNOPSIS
ipfixDump [--in FILE_NAME][--out FILE_NAME]
[--yaf]
[--templates][--data][--stats]
[--version]
DESCRIPTION
ipfixDump is a tool to read IPFIX files and dump the contents in ASCII
to perform low level analysis of the files. ipfixDump uses libfixbuf
to decode the files and it does not need any user input as to what the
file contains as long as the IPFIX templates are at the beginning of
the file. Any records that do not have a corresponding template will
be ignored.
By default, ipfixDump uses the standard information model provided by
libfixbuf. If ipfixDump is given the --yaf switch, it will include the
yaf CERT private enterprise information elements. If yaf was
configured to enable DPI (plugins) ipfixDump will also add the DPI
elements that yaf can export.
ipfixDump supports Options templates and records. ipfixDump will write
all IPFIX templates and data records to the output file. It will also
write message and set headers when present.
ipfixDump supports IPFIX structured data in the form of basicLists,
subTemplateLists, and subTemplateMultiLists.
ipfixDump currently does not support displaying sequence numbers.
OPTIONS
The following options are available for ipfixDump.
--in FILE_NAME
The FILE_NAME is the filename to read. The string '-' may be used
to read from standard input (the default).
--out FILE_NAME
FILE_NAME should be the filename to write to or the string '-' may
be used to write to standard output (the default).
--yaf
If present, ipfixDump will include the available yyaaff(1) CERT
private enterprise information elements. If yyaaff(1) was configured
with plugins enabled, ipfixDump will add all of the deep packet
inspection elements to the information model. By default, the
standard IPFIX information model is used (standard elements defined
by IANA).
--template
If present, ipfixDump will only write the templates present in the
input file.
--data
If present, ipfixDump will only write the data records present in
the input file.
--stats
If present, ipfixDump will only write overall file statistics -
which include the number of templates present, the number of data
records present, and the number of IPFIX messages present.
--version
If present, print version and copyright information to standard
error and exit.
Examples
In the following examples, the dollar sign ("$") represents the shell
prompt. The text after the dollar sign represents the command line.
