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 fows 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 bei usec mirco seconds, to avoid overrun on the remote side. Default is 10.

-b buffersize
    Set send buffer size in bytes. Usefull 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.
