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:

- 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.
