## NAME

ragrep - grep argus(8) user captured data.

## COPYRIGHT

Copyright (c) 2000-2007 QoSient. All rights reserved.

## SYNOPSIS

ragrep -e <regexp> [-v] [-i] [raoptions] [- filter-expression]

## DESCRIPTION

Ragrep reads argus data from an argus-data source, greps the records based on the regexp specified on the command line, and outputs a valid argus-stream.

Ragrep works only on the fields for user captured data. Argus must be started with the configration option ARGUS_CAPTURE_DATA_LEN set to a value greater than 0, to have these data captured. See argus.conf(5) for detail.

Ragrep is based on GNU grep(1), so the regexp syntax is the same as for grep(1).

## OPTIONS

Ragrep, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options including filtering of input argus records through a terminating filter expression. See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options. ragrep(1) specific options are:

-e regexp
  Use the grep(1)-compatible regular expression for filtering.

-i
  ignore case.

-v
  Reverse the expression matching logic.

## INVOCATION

A sample invocation of ragrep(1). This call reads argus(8) data from inputfile and greps all http transactions that generated a "404 Not Found" error.

ragrep -r inputfile -e "HTTP.*404"
