NAME
     ragraph - graph argus(8) data.

SYNOPSIS
     ragraph  metric [object] [-M mode] [options] [raoptions] [-- filter-expres-
     sion]

DESCRIPTION
     Ragraph reads argus(8) data from an argus-file, and graphs fields of inter-
     est from matching argus flow activity records.  You must specify  the  met-
     ric(s), the flow object/identifier(s) and the time granularity required for
     the  graph.   Standard  raoptions are available to filter input and specify
     the time range of interest, and graphing options are provided to specify  x
     and  y  axis  labels, titles, upper and lower range limits, and plot sizes.
     Support for logorithmic scaling, object stacking, and  split  graphing  are
     provided to provide some flexibility in the graphs you can produce.

     Ragraph  supports	graphing  most metrics that are available in argus data,
     including, bytes, packet counts, average duration, loss, jitter, load,  and
     rate.   These  metrics can be graphed in association with flow identifiers,
     such as source or destination address, network address, source  identifier,
     protocol,	port  numbers, services, vlan id, mpls tag, ttl, and tos values.
     Currently, there are limits to the number of metrics and objects  that  can
     be graphed at one time, so assume that ragraph is a simple graphing tool.

     By  default ragraph writes its output to ragraph.png, in the current direc-
     tory.  Use the '-w' raoption to specify an alternate output filename.

     Ragraph is implemented as a perl script front-end to the routine rabins and
     rrd-tool, which is used to generate PNG formatted graphs. As a  result  ra-
     graph  supports  all  the	raoption and most of the options to the rrd-tool
     graphing functions.

RA OPTIONS
     Ragraph, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options includ-
     ing filtering of input argus records through a terminating  filter  expres-
     sion, and specifying an output filename using the -w option.

     See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options.

RRDTOOL GRAPH OPTIONS
     Ragraph,  when  using  rrdtool  as the graphing backend, will pass rrdgraph
     specific options to the appropriate rrdtool module.  These are the specific
     rrdtool options that are supported.

Appearance
     -fill
	 Turn off area fill.

     -stack
	 Turn off data stacking.

     -split
	 Turn off axis splitting for src/dst(in/out) traffic.

     -invert
	 Invert a split graph, so that src and dest data are flipped.

     -rigid
	 Pass rrdtool rigid parameter to rrdgraph.

Labels
     -title string
	 Specify a graph title.

     -vertical-label string
	 Specify a vertically placed yaxis label.

Size
     -height pixels
	 Specify height in pixels for the graph (275 pixels)

     -width pixels
	 Specify width in pixels for the graph (800 pixels)

     -only-graph
	 Generate only the graph with out any borders, title, labels, legend.

Limits
     -upper value
	 Specify upper bounds for graphing data (automatic).

     -lower value
	 Specify lower bounds for  graphing  data  (automatic).   When	data  is
	 split, you need to specify the value as a negative number.

     -alt-autoscale

     -alt-autoscale-max
	 Use rrdtool alternate y-axis autoscale algorithm.  See rrdgraph manpage
	 for information.

     -no-gridfit
	 Disable  rrdtool grid scale modification strategies.  See rrdgraph man-
	 page for information.

Grid
     -x-grid GTM:GST:MTM:MST:LTM:LST:LPR:LFM | none
	 Modify rrdtool x-axis label definition.  See rrdgraph manpage	for  in-
	 formation.

     -y-grid 'grid step:label factor' | none
	 Modify  rrdtool  y-axis label definition.  The use of ' is important to
	 parsing the option correctly. See rrdgraph manpage for information.

     -alt-y-grid
	 Modify rrdtool default y-grid behavior.  See rrdgraph manpage	for  in-
	 formation.

     -log
	 Use logarithmic scale for y-axis.

     -units-exponent value
	 Set  the 10** exponent scaling of the y-axis.	See rrdgraph manpage for
	 information.

     -units-length value
	 Set the width of the y-axis border.  See rrdgraph manpage for	informa-
	 tion.

     -units=si
	 Turn  off  expoenential  notation for logarithmic graphs.  See rrdgraph
	 manpage for information.

Miscellaneous
     -imginfo printfstr
	 Adds img information to the graph.  See rrdgraph manpage  for	informa-
	 tion.

     -zoom factor
	 Zoom the graphics by the given factor.  See rrdgraph manpage for infor-
	 mation.

     -font FONTTAG:size:[font]
	 Modify rrdgraph default font.	See rrdgraph manpage for information.

     -font-render-mode {normal,light,mono}
	 Modify  rrdgraph font smoothing strength.  See rrdgraph manpage for in-
	 formation.

     -font-smoothing-threshold size
	 Modify rrdgraph font smoothing font size.  See rrdgraph manpage for in-
	 formation.

     -slope-mode
	 Modify rrdgraph slope-mode option.  See rrdgraph manpage  for	informa-
	 tion.

     -no-legend
	 Supress generation of the legend.

     -watermark string
	 Adds  the given string as a watermark.  See rrdgraph manpage for infor-
	 mation.

     -norrdwmark
	 Disables the default rrdtool watermark from appearing on the graph.

EXAMPLES
     To graph the total load for the data in an argus-file argus.data at 10 sec-
     ond intervals:
	    ragraph bytes -M 10s -r argus.data -title "Total Load"

     To graph the rate (pkt/sec) on a destination port basis for the data from a
     specific probe in an argus-file argus.data at 1 minute intervals:
	    ragraph bytes dport -M 1m -r argus.data - srcid 192.168.0.10
