NAME

nfstest_pkt - Packet trace decoder

SYNOPSIS

nfstest_pkt [options] <trace1.cap> [<trace2.cap> ...]

DESCRIPTION

Decode and display all packets in the packet trace file(s) given. The match option gives the ability to search for specific packets within the packet trace file. Other options allow displaying of their corresponding call or reply when only one or the other is matched. Only a range of packets can be displayed if the start and/or end options are used.

There are three levels of verbosity in which they are specified using a bitmap, where the most significant bit gives a more verbose output. Verbose level 1 is used as a default where each packet is displayed condensed to one line using the last layer of the packet as the main output. By default only the NFS packets (NFS, MOUNT, NLM, etc.) are displayed.

The packet trace files are processed either serially or in parallel. The packets are displayed using their timestamps so they are always displayed in the correct order even if the files given are out of order. If the packet traces were captured one after the other the packets are displayed serially, first the packets of the first file according to their timestamps, then the second and so forth. If the packet traces were captured at the same time on multiple clients the packets are displayed in parallel, packets are interleaved from all the files when displayed again according to their timestamps.

Note: When using the --call option, a packet call can be displayed out of order if the call is not matched explicitly but its reply is matched so its corresponding call is displayed right before the reply.

OPTIONS

--version

show program’s version number and exit

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-v VERBOSE, --verbose=VERBOSE

Verbose level bitmask [default: 1]. bitmap 0x01: one line per packet. bitmap 0x02: one line per layer. bitmap 0x04: real verbose.

-l LAYERS, --layers=LAYERS

Layers to display [default: ’rpc’]. Valid layers: ethernet, ip, tcp, udp, rpc, nfs, nlm, mount, portmap

-s START, --start=START

Start index [default: 0]

-e END, --end=END

End index [default: 0]

-m MATCH, --match=MATCH

Match string [default: True]

-c, --call

If matching a reply packet, include its corresponding call in the output

-r, --reply

If matching a call packet, include its corresponding reply in the output

-d DISPLAY, --display=DISPLAY

Print specific packet or part of a packet [default: pkt]

-z TZ, --tz=TZ

Time zone to use to display timestamps

--serial

Process packet traces one after the other in the order in which they are given. The default is to open all files first and then display the packets ordered according to their timestamps.

--progress=PROGRESS

Display progress bar [default: 1]

RPC display:

--rpc-type=RPC_TYPE

Display RPC type [default: True]

--rpc-load=RPC_LOAD

Display RPC load type (NFS, NLM, etc.) [default: True]

--rpc-ver=RPC_VER

Display RPC load version [default: True]

--rpc-xid=RPC_XID

Display RPC xid [default: True]

Packet display:

--nfs-mainop=NFS_MAINOP

Display NFSv4 main operation only [default: False]

--load-body=LOAD_BODY

Display RPC payload body [default: True]

--frame=FRAME

Display record frame number [default: 0]

--index=INDEX

Display packet number [default: 1]

--crc16=CRC16

Display CRC16 encoded strings [default: True]

--crc32=CRC32

Display CRC32 encoded strings [default: True]

--strsize=STRSIZE

Truncate all strings to this size [default: 0]

Debug:

--enum-check=ENUM_CHECK

If set to True, enums are strictly enforced [default: False]

--enum-repr=ENUM_REPR

If set to True, enums are displayed as numbers [default: False]

--no-rpc-replies

Do not dissect RPC replies

--debug-level=DEBUG_LEVEL

Set debug level messages

EXAMPLES

# Display all NFS packets (one line per packet)
# Display only the NFS packets by default.
# Default for --verbose option is 1 -- one line per packet
$ nfstest_pkt /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS packets (one line per layer)
$ nfstest_pkt -v 2 /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS packets (real verbose, all items in each layer are displayed)
$ nfstest_pkt -v 4 /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS packets (display both verbose level 1 and 2)
$ nfstest_pkt -v 3 /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all TCP packets (this will display all RPC and NFS packets as well)
$ nfstest_pkt -l tcp /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all packets
$ nfstest_pkt -l all /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS, NLM, MOUNT and PORTMAP packets
$ nfstest_pkt -l nfs,nlm,mount,portmap /tmp/trace.cap

# Display packets 100 through 199
$ nfstest_pkt -s 100 -e 200 -l all /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS packets with non-zero status
$ nfstest_pkt -m "nfs.status != 0" /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFSv4 WRITE packets
$ nfstest_pkt -m "rpc.version == 4 and nfs.op == 38" /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFSv4 WRITE calls
$ nfstest_pkt -m "rpc.version == 4 and nfs.argop == 38" /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS packets having a file name as f00000001 (OPEN, LOOKUP, etc.)
# including their replies
$ nfstest_pkt -r -m "nfs.name == ’f00000001’" /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS packets with non-zero status including their respective calls
$ nfstest_pkt -c -m "nfs.status != 0" /tmp/trace.cap
$ nfstest_pkt -d "pkt_call,pkt" -m "nfs.status != 0" /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all TCP packets (just the TCP layer)
$ nfstest_pkt -d "pkt.tcp" -l tcp /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFS file handles
$ nfstest_pkt -d "pkt.NFSop.fh" -m "len(nfs.fh) > 0" /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all RPC packets including the record information (packet number, timestamp, etc.)
# For verbose level 1 (default) the "," separator will be converted to a
# space if all items are only pkt(.*)? or pkt_call(.*)?
$ nfstest_pkt -d "pkt.record,pkt.rpc" -l rpc /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all RPC packets including the record information (packet number, timestamp, etc.)
# For verbose level 2 the "," separator will be converted to a new line if
# all items are only pkt(.*)? or pkt_call(.*)?
$ nfstest_pkt -v 2 -d "pkt.record,pkt.rpc" -l rpc /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all RPC packets including the record information (packet number, timestamp, etc.)
# using the given display format
$ nfstest_pkt -d ">>> record: pkt.record >>> rpc: pkt.rpc" -l rpc /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all packets truncating all strings to 100 bytes
# This is useful when some packets are very large and there
# is no need to display all the data
$ nfstest_pkt --strsize 100 -v 2 -l all /tmp/trace.cap

# Display all NFSv4 packets displaying the main operation of the compound
# e.g., display "WRITE" instead of "SEQUENCE;PUTFH;WRITE"
