SYNOPSIS

       ragraph metric [object] [-M mode] [options] [raoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       Ragraph  reads  argus(8)  data from an argus-file, and graphs fields of
       interest from matching argus flow activity records.   Current,  ragraph
       uses  rrd-tool to generate GIF formatted graphs, and so many options to
       rrd-tool are supported by ragraph.

       Ragraph supports graphing most metrics  that  are  available  in  argus
       data.  The  list  includes  bytes,  sbytes, dbytes, pkts, spkts, dpkts,
       trans, dur, avgdur.

       Ragraph also supports graphing based on multiple objects, such  as  the
       destination  address  or  destination  port values.  The list currently
       include saddr, daddr, proto, sport, dport.

       By default ragraph writes its output to  ragraph.gif,  in  the  current
       directory.   Use  the  ’-w’  raoption  to  specify  an alternate output
       filename.

OPTIONS

       -M <mode> -
           Specify  the  mode  for  printing.  Current  ragraph  supports  any
           arbitrary  time  range  as  a  mode,  specified  either as a number
           followed  by  the  time  scale  seconds(s),  minutes(m),  hours(h),
           days(d), months(M), years(y), or as a type of time, such as hourly,
           daily, etc.  Examles are:
              -M 1s      graph bins of size 1 second.
              -M 15m     graph bins of size 15 minutes.
              -M hourly  graph bins of size 1 hour.
              -M daily   graph bins of size 1 day.

       -log
           Use logarithmic scale for y-axis.

       -fill
           Turn off area fill.

       -stack
           Turn off data stacking.

       -split
           Turn off axis splitting for src/dst(in/out) traffic.

       -height
           Specify height in pixels for the graph (275 pixels)

       -width
           Specify width in pixels for the graph (800 pixels)

       -upper
           Specify upper bounds for graphing data (automatic).

       -lower
           Specify lower bounds for graphing data (automatic).  When  data  is
           split, you need to specify the value as a negative number.

       -title
           Specify a graph title.

RA OPTIONS

       Ragraph,  like  all  ra  based clients, supports a number of ra options
       including filtering of input argus records through a terminating filter
       expression, and specifying an output filename using the -w option.

       See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options.

EXAMPLES

       To  graph the total load for the data in an argus-file argus.data at 10
       second intervals:
              ragraph bytes -M 10s -r argus.data -title "Total Load"

       To graph the rate (pkt/sec) on a destination port basis  for  the  data
       from  a  specific  probe  in  an  argus-file  argus.data  at  1  minute
       intervals:
              ragraph pkts dport -M 1m -r argus.data - srcid 192.168.0.10
