IPTRAF(8) System Manager's Manual IPTRAF(8) NAME iptraf - Interactive Colorful IP LAN Monitor SYNOPSIS iptraf { [ -f ] [ -q ] [ -u ] [ { -i iface | -g | -d iface | -s iface | -z iface | -l iface } [ -t timeout ] [ -B [ -L logfile ] ] ] | [ -h ] } DESCRIPTION iptraf is an ncurses-based IP LAN monitor that generates various network statistics in- cluding TCP info, UDP counts, ICMP and OSPF information, Ethernet load info, node stats, IP checksum errors, and others. If the iptraf command is issued without any command-line options, the program comes up in interactive mode, with the various facilities accessed through the main menu. OPTIONS These options can also be supplied to the command: -i iface immediately start the IP traffic monitor on the specified interface, or all inter- faces if "-i all" is specified -g immediately start the general interface statistics -d iface allows you to immediately start the detailed on the indicated interface (iface) -s iface allows you to immediately monitor TCP and UDP traffic on the specified interface (iface) -z iface shows packet counts by size on the specified interface -l iface start the LAN station monitor on the specified interface, or all LAN interfaces if "-l all" is specified -t timeout tells IPTraf to run the specified facility for only timeout minutes. This option is used only with one of the above parameters. -B redirect standard output to /dev/null, closes standard input, and forks the program into the background. Can be used only with one of the facility invocation parame- ters above. Send the backgrounded process a USR2 signal to terminate. -L logfile allows you to specify an alternate log file name. The default log file name is based on either the interface selected (detailed interface statistics, TCP/UDP ser- vice statistics, packet size breakdown), or the instance of the facility (IP traf- fic monitor, LAN station monitor). If a path is not specified, the log file is placed in /var/log/iptraf -f clears all locks and counters, causing this instance of IPTraf to think it's the first one running. This should only be used to recover from an abnormal termina- tion or system crash. -u allow use of unsupported interfaces as ethernet devices. This is needed if you changed the name of an interface (ex: ip link set eth0 name foo0) -q no longer needed, maintained only for compatibility. -h shows a command summary SIGNALS SIGUSR1 - rotates log files while program is running SIGUSR2 - terminates an IPTraf process running in the background.
