rtm monitor

Description

Starts the monitoring process for an interface or a virtual link.

If options and grouping are not used, this command monitors all traffic, on all interfaces, in both directions.

Syntax

rtm monitor {<module_name> [<interface_name>] | <module_name>-filter ["<complex filter>"] | -v <virtual_link_name>} [<options>] [-g <grouping> <entity-1>...<entity-n>]

Parameter	Description
`<`module_name`>`	The name of the SmartView Monitor module.
`<`interface_name`>`	The name of the monitored interface.
`"<`complex filter`>"`	Boolean regular expression to match traffic to be monitored.
`<`virtual_link_name`>`	The name of the monitored Virtual Link.
`<`grouping`>`	Available options are: `svc` - Monitors according to a service. `src` - Monitors according to a network object (source only). `dst` - Monitors according to a network object (destination only). `ip` - Monitors according to a network object (source and destination). `fgrule` - Monitors according to a QoS Policy rule. `topsvc` - Monitors the traffic of the top 50 services. `topsrc` - Monitors the traffic of the top 50 sources. `topdst` - Monitors the traffic of the top 50 destinations. `topdst` - Monitors traffic to and from the top 50 IP addresses (source of destination). `topfwn` - Monitors according to the top 50 Firewall rules. `topfgrule` - Monitors according to the top 50 QoS Policy rules.

Where:

Options	Description
`-a`	`aggregate` (default) - Shows connections as a group. `individual` - Shows individual connections.
`-w`	`bandwidth` (default) - Shows effective bandwidth. `loss` - Shows the difference between the transmission rate and the receiving rate. `rtt -` Shows the time required to travel between two endpoints.
`-t`	`wire -` Shows the data on the wire after compression or encryption. `application -` Shows the data as the application sees it (not compressed and not encrypted).
`-i`	<number of seconds> Default: `2`
`@@`	Specifies a sub-rule (for example, '`rule@@subrule`')
`-d`	Specifies the monitor direction. Valid values for an interface: `- inbound` `- outbound` `- eitherbound` Valid values for a virtual link: `- a2b` - endpoint A to endpoint B `- b2a` - endpoint B to endpoint A `- a2b_b2a` - both directions
`-y`	Specifies the units of bandwidth (when -w = bandwidth) `- bytes` (default) `- pkts` `- line`
`c`	Indicates the number of new connections opened per second.
`C`	Average concurrent connections (use with a grouping value).
`-p`	Specifies whether or not thousands will be separated by commas.

Examples

This command shows monitoring data in bytes-per-second for the top 50 services passed on all interfaces in both directions: rtm monitor localhost -filter -g topsvc

This command shows monitoring data in concurrent connections for the top 50 sources inbound to interface eth0: rtm monitor localhost -filter "[and[[interface 0 [[eth0in]]][svc 1 [telnet http]]]" -y C -g topsrc

This command shows monitoring data in bytes-per-sec for the top 50 services passed on interface hme1: rtm monitor localhost hme1 -g topsvc -y b

Comments

The specified entities correspond to the specified grouping option. For example, if the monitoring process works according to a service (svc), add all the monitored services, separated by a space.

To monitor for the QoS Policy, use rule@@fgrule
