README
Welcome to softflowd, a flow-based network monitor.
Introduction
------------
softflowd listens promiscuously on a network interface and semi-statefully
tracks network flows. These flows can be reported using NetFlow version 1, 5
or 9 datagrams. softflowd is fully IPv6 capable: it can track IPv6 flows and
export to IPv6 hosts.
More details about softflowd's function and usage may be found in the
supplied PDF manpages. They were built with:
man -t ./softflowd.8 | ps2pdf - softflowd.pdf
man -t ./softflowctl.8 | ps2pdf - softflowctl.pdf
You can view those pages prior to installation using:
/usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc softflowd.8 | less
/usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc softflowctl.8 | less
If you are in need of a NetFlow collector, you may be interested in
softflowd's companion project "flowd" (http://www.mindrot.org/projects/flowd/).
flowd is a NetFlow collector that is maintained in parallel with
softflowd and includes a few handy features, such as the ability
to filter flows it receives as well as Perl and Python APIs to its
storage format. NB. You don't have to use flowd: any NetFlow compatible
collector should work with softflowd. An example Perl collector is included
for testing purposes as collector.pl, but it doesn't yet support NetFlow v.9
Installing
----------
Building softflowd should be as simple as typing:
autoconf
autoreconf
./configure
make
make install
Unfortunately some systems like to make life complicated. Things work
fine on the systems that I develop and test on (OpenBSD and Linux).
There is peliminary support for Solaris 9 (i.e. it compiled), but no
testing on this platform has been performed.
Licensing
---------
Softflowd is licensed under a two-term BSD license (see the source
files for details). The code in sys-tree.h is Copyright Niels Provos
and comes straight from OpenBSD CVS, convtime.c
comes is Copyright Kevin Steves and comes from OpenSSH (misc.c). Both
of these files are licensed under two-term BSD licenses too. strlcpy.c,
strlcat.c and closefrom.c also come from OpenBSD CVS and are Copyright
Todd C. Miller. Please refer to the LICENSE file for full details.
