rwsilk2ipfix(1) SiLK Tool Suite rwsilk2ipfix(1) NAME rwsilk2ipfix - Convert SiLK Flow records to IPFIX records SYNOPSIS rwsilk2ipfix [--ipfix-output=PATH] [--print-statistics] [--single-template] [--site-config-file=FILENAME] {[--xargs] | [--xargs=FILENAME] | [FILE [FILE ...]]} rwsilk2ipfix --help rwsilk2ipfix --version DESCRIPTION rwsilk2ipfix reads SiLK Flow records, converts the records to an IPFIX (Internet Protocol Flow Information eXport) format, and writes the IPFIX records to the path specified by --ipfix-output or to the standard output when the --ipfix-output switch is not provided and standard output is not the terminal. rwsilk2ipfix reads SiLK Flow records from the files named on the command line or from the standard input when no file names are specified and --xargs is not present. To read the standard input in addition to the named files, use "-" or "stdin" as a file name. If an input file name ends in ".gz", the file is uncompressed as it is read. When the --xargs switch is provided, rwsilk2ipfix reads the names of the files to process from the named text file or from the standard input if no file name argument is provided to the switch. The input to --xargs must contain one file name per line. The IPFIX records generated by rwsilk2ipfix will contain six information elements that are in the Private Enterprise space for CERT (the IPFIX Private Enterprise Number of CERT is 6871). These six information elements fall into two groups: o Elements 30 and 31 contain the packing information that was determined by rwflowpack(8), specifically the flowtype and the sensor. These values correspond to numbers specified in the silk.conf(5) file. o Elements 14, 15, 32, and 33 contain information elements generated by the yaf(1) flow meter (<http://tools.netsa.cert.org/yaf/>). The information elements may be present even if yaf was not used to generate the flow records, but their value will be empty or 0. For each of the six information elements that rwsilk2ipfix will produce, the following table lists its numeric ID, its length in octets, its name, the field name it corresponds to on rwcut(1), and a brief description. 30 1 silkFlowType class & type How rwflowpack categorized the flow record 31 2 silkFlowSensor sensor Sensor where the flow was collected 14 1 initialTCPFlags initialFlags TCP flags on first packet in the flow record 15 1 unionTCPFlags sessionFlags TCP flags on all packets in the flow except the first 32 1 silkTCPState attributes Flow continuation attributes set by generator 33 2 silkAppLabel application Guess by flow generator as to the content of traffic Templates As of SiLK 3.12.0, rwsilk2ipfix uses ten different IPFIX templates for writing SiLK Flow records. The --single-template switch causes rwsilk2ipfix to revert to its previous behavior and use a single template for all records. 1.

One set of those addresses contains the IP addresses and the other set contains only zeros. OPTIONS Option names may be abbreviated if the abbreviation is unique or is an exact match for an option. A parameter to an option may be specified as --arg=param or --arg param, though the first form is required for options that take optional parameters. --ipfix-output=PATH Write the IPFIX records to PATH, where PATH is a filename, a named pipe, the keyword "stderr" to write the output to the standard error, or the keyword "stdout" or "-" to write the output to the standard output. If PATH names an existing file, rwsilk2ipfix exits with an error unless the SILK_CLOBBER environment variable is set, in which case PATH is overwritten. If this switch is not given, the output is written to the standard output. Attempting to write the binary output to a terminal causes rwipfix2silk to exit with an error. --print-statistics Print, to the standard error, the number of records that were written to the IPFIX output file. --single-template Use a single IPFIX template for all records. Using this switch produces output identical to that produced by rwsilk2ipfix from SiLK 3.11.0 and earlier. Since SiLK 3.12.0. --site-config-file=FILENAME Read the SiLK site configuration from the named file FILENAME. When this switch is not provided, rwsilk2ipfix searches for the site configuration file in the locations specified in the "FILES" section. --xargs --xargs=FILENAME Read the names of the input files from FILENAME or from the standard input if FILENAME is not provided. The input is expected to have one filename per line. rwsilk2ipfix opens each named file in turn and reads records from it as if the filenames had been listed on the command line. --help Print the available options and exit. --version Print the version number and information about how SiLK was configured, then exit the application. EXAMPLES In the following examples, the dollar sign ("$") represents the shell prompt. The text after the dollar sign represents the command line. To convert the SiLK file silk.rw into an IPFIX format and store the results in ipfix.dat: $ rwsilk2ipfix --ipfix-output=ipfix.dat silk.rw To view the contents of ipfix.dat using the yafscii(1) tool (see <http://tools.netsa.cert.org/yaf/>): $ yafscii --in=ipfix.dat --out=- To view the contents of ipfix.dat using the ipfixDump(1) tool (see <http://tools.netsa.cert.org/yaf/>): $ ipfixDump --yaf --in=ipfix.dat --out=- Use the rwipfix2silk(1) tool to convert the IPFIX file back into SiLK Flow format: $ rwipfix2silk --silk-output=silk2.rw ipfix.dat ENVIRONMENT SILK_CLOBBER The SiLK tools normally refuse to overwrite existing files. Setting SILK_CLOBBER to a non-empty value removes this restriction. SILK_CONFIG_FILE This environment variable is used as the value for the --site-config-file when that switch is not provided. SILK_DATA_ROOTDIR This environment variable specifies the root directory of data repository. As described in the "FILES" section, rwsilk2ipfix may use this environment variable when searching for the SiLK site configuration file. SILK_PATH This environment variable gives the root of the install tree. When searching for configuration files, rwsilk2ipfix may use this environment variable. See the "FILES" section for details.
