Stable Release v1.6.10 See the Changelog file for all changes in release 1.6.10 Notes on NSEL/ASA support ------------------------- nfdump-1.6.9 includes a new written from scratch implemented NSEL/ASA module. It's based on the CISCO ASA Spec 8.4: "Implementation Note for NetFlow Collectors, Version 8.4" Due to this new implementation, nfdump-1.6.9 is not compatible with old nfdump-1.5.8-2-NSEL. To build nfdump, add --enable-nsel to the configure command. By enabling the ASA/NSEL option, nfdump processes normal flows as well ASA/NSEL records likewise. nfcapd adds by default all required NSEL extesions equivalent to '-Tnsel' Note on NEL support ------------------- nfdump-1.6.9 includes a new module for decoding the CISCO NEL ( NAT event logging ) records. It's considered to be experimantal, as no official documentation can be found. Let me know otherwise. To build nfdump, add --enable-nel to the configure command. By enabling the NEL option, nfdump processes normal flows as well NEL records likewise. nfcapd adds by default all required NEL extesions equivalent to '-Tnel' Although it's possibel to enable NSEL und NEL likewise, users could get confused by nfdump output, as NSEL output format overwrites NEL format. In that case you need explicitly to define -o nel. Notes on IPFIX --------------- nfdump contains an IPFIX module for decoding IPFIX data. It is considered not yet to be complete and does not yet support full IPFIX. o Supports basically same feature set of elements as netflow_v9 module o Only UDP traffic is accepted no SCTP so far o No sampling support. o Still more test data needed. If you would like to see more IPFIX support, please contact me. General README -------------- This is a small description, what the nfdump tools do and how they work. Nfdump is distributed under the BSD license - see BSD-license.txt The nfdump tools collect and process netflow data on the command line. They are part of the NFSEN project, which is explained more detailed at http://www.terena.nl/tech/task-forces/tf-csirt/meeting12/nfsen-Haag.pdf The Web interface mentioned is not part of nfdump and is available at http://nfsen.sourceforge.net nfdump tools overview: ---------------------- nfcapd - netflow collector daemon. Reads the netflow data from the network and stores the flow records into files. Automatically rotates files every n minutes. ( typically every 5 min ) nfcapd reads netflow versions v1, v5, v7 and v9 flows as well as IPFIX flows transparently. Several netflow streams can be sent to a single or collector. nfdump - netflow dump. Reads the netflow data from the files stored by nfcapd. It's filter syntax is similar to tcpdump ( pcap like ) but for netflow adapted. If you like tcpdump you will like nfdump. nfdump displays netflow data and/or creates top N statistics of flows, bytes, packets. nfdump has a powerful and flexible flow aggregation including bi-directional flows. The output format is user selectable and also includes a simple csv format for post processing. nfreplay - netflow replay Reads the netflow data from the files stored by nfcapd and sends it over the network to another host. nfexpire - expire old netflow data Manages data expiration. Sets appropriate limits. Optional binaries: nfprofile - netflow profiler. Required by NfSen Reads the netflow data from the files stored by nfcapd. Filters the netflow data according to the specified filter sets ( profiles ) and stores the filtered data into files for later use. nftrack - Port tracking decoder for NfSen plugin PortTracker. ft2nfdump - read flow-tools format - Optional tool ft2nfdump acts as a pipe converter for flow-tools data. It allows to read any flow-tools data and process and save it in nfdump format. sfcapd - sflow collector daemon scfapd collects sflow data and stores it into nfcapd comaptible files. "sfcapd includes sFlow(TM), freely available from http://www.inmon.com/". nfreader - Framework for programmers nfreader is a framework to read nfdump files for any other purpose. Own C code can be added to process flows. nfreader is not installed parse_csv.pl - Simple reader, written in Perl. parse_csv.pl reads nfdump csv output and print the flows to stdout. This program is intended to be a framework for post processing flows for any other purpose. Note for sflow users: sfcapd and nfcapd can be used concurrently to collect netflow and sflow data at the same time. Generic command line options apply to both collectors likewise. Due to lack of availability of sflow devices, I could not test the correct output of IPv6 records. Users are requested to send feedback to the list or directly to me. sfcapd's sflow decoding module is based on InMon's sflowtool code and supports similar fields as nfcapd does for netflow v9, which is a subset of all available sflow fields in an sflow record. More fields may be integrated in future versions of sfcapd. Compression ----------- Binary data files can optionally be compressed using the fast LZO1X-1 compression. For more details on this algorithm see, http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo. LZO1X-1 is very fast, so that compression can be used in real time by the collector. LZO1X-1 reduces the file size around 50%. You can check the compression speed for your system by doing ./nftest <path/to/an/existing/netflow/file>. Principle of Operation: ----------------------- The goal of the design is to able to analyze netflow data from the past as well as to track interesting traffic patterns continuously. The amount of time back in the past is limited only by the disk storage available for all the netflow data. The tools are optimized for speed for efficient filtering. The filter rules should look familiar to the syntax of tcpdump ( pcap compatible ). All data is stored to disk, before it gets analyzed. This separates the process of storing and analyzing the data. The data is organized in a time-based fashion. Every n minutes - typically 5 min - nfcapd rotates and renames the output file with the timestamp nfcapd.YYYYMMddhhmm of the interval e.g. nfcapd.200907110845 contains data from July 11th 2009 08:45 onward. Based on a 5min time interval, this results in 288 files per day. Analyzing the data can be done for a single file, or by concatenating several files for a single output. The output is either ASCII text or binary data, when saved into a file, ready to be processed again with the same tools. You may have several netflow sources - let's say 'router1' 'router2' and so on. The data is organized as follows: /flow_base_dir/router1 /flow_base_dir/router2 which means router1 and router2 are subdirs of the flow_base_dir. Although several flow sources can be sent to a single collector, It's recommended to have multiple collector on busy networks for each source. Example: Start two collectors on different ports: nfcapd -w -D -S 2 -B 1024000 -l /flow_base_dir/router1 -p 23456 nfcapd -w -D -S 2 -B 1024000 -l /flow_base_dir/router2 -p 23457 nfcapd can handle multiple flow sources. All sources can go into a single file or can be split: All into the same file: nfcapd -w -D -S 2 -l /flow_base_dir/routers -p 23456 Collected on one port and split per source: nfcapd -w -D -S 2 -n router1,172.16.17.18,/flow_base_dir/router1 \ -n router2,172.16.17.20,/flow_base_dir/router2 -p 23456 See nfcapd(1) for a detailed explanation of all options. Security: none of the tools requires root privileges, unless you have a port < 1024. However, there is no access control mechanism in nfcapd. It is assumed, that host level security is in place to filter the proper IP addresses. See the manual pages or use the -h switch for details on using each of the programs. For any questions send email to [email protected] Configure your router to export netflow. See the relevant documentation for your model. A generic Cisco sample configuration enabling NetFlow on an interface: ip address 192.168.92.162 255.255.255.224 interface fastethernet 0/0 ip route-cache flow To tell the router where to send the NetFlow data, enter the following global configuration command: ip flow-export 192.168.92.218 9995 ip flow-export version 5 ip flow-cache timeout active 5 This breaks up long-lived flows into 5-minute segments. You can choose any number of minutes between 1 and 60; Netflow v9 full export example of a cisco 7200 with sampling enabled: interface Ethernet1/0 ip address 192.168.92.162 255.255.255.224 duplex half flow-sampler my-map ! ! flow-sampler-map my-map mode random one-out-of 5 ! ip flow-cache timeout inactive 60 ip flow-cache timeout active 1 ip flow-capture fragment-offset ip flow-capture packet-length ip flow-capture ttl ip flow-capture vlan-id ip flow-capture icmp ip flow-capture ip-id ip flow-capture mac-addresses ip flow-export version 9 ip flow-export template options export-stats ip flow-export template options sampler ip flow-export template options timeout-rate 1 ip flow-export template timeout-rate 1 ip flow-export destination 192.168.92.218 9995 See the relevant documentation for a full description of netflow commands Note: Netflow version v5 and v7 have 32 bit counter values. The number of packets or bytes may overflow this value, within the flow-cache timeout on very busy routers. To prevent overflow, you may consider to reduce the flow-cache timeout to lower values. All nfdump tools use 64 bit counters internally, which means, all aggregated values are correctly reported. The binary format of the data files is netflow version independent. For speed reasons the binary format is machine architecture dependent, and as such can not be exchanged between little and big endian systems. Internally nfdump does all processing IP protocol independent, which means everything works for IPv4 as well as IPv6 addresses. See the nfdump(1) man page for details. netflow version 9: nfcapd supports a large range of netflow v9 tags. Version 1.6 nfdump supports the following fields.

However, internally nfdump stores packets and bytes counters always as 64bit counters. 16 and 32 bit AS numbers are supported. Extensions: nfcapd supports a large number of v9 tags. In order to optimise disk space and performance, v9 tags are grouped into a number of extensions which may or may not be stored into the data file. Therefore the v9 templates configured on the exporter may be tuned with the collector. Only the tags common to both are stored into the data files. Extensions can be switch on/off by using the -T option. Sampling: By default, the sampling rate is set to 1 (unsampled) or to any given value specified by the -s cmd line option. If sampling information is found in the netflow stream, it overwrites the default value. Sampling is automatically recognised when announced in v9 option templates (tags #48, #49, #50 ) or in the unofficial v5 header hack. Note: Not all platforms (or IOS versions) support exporting sampling information in netflow data, even if sampling is configured. The number of bytes/packets in each netflow record is automatically multiplied by the sampling rate. The total number of flows is not changed as this is not accurate enough. (Small flows versus large flows) nfcapd can listen on IPv6 or IPv4. Furthermore multicast is supported. Flow-tools compatibility ------------------------ When building with configure option --enable-ftconv, the flow-tools converter is compiled. Using this converter, any flow-tools created data can be read and processed and stored by nfdump. Example: flow-cat [options] | ft2nfdump | nfdump [options] See the INSTALL file for installation details.
