nfstrace
is an NFS and CIFS tracing/monitoring/capturing/analyzing tool.
It performs live Ethernet 1 Gbps - 10 Gbps packets capturing and helps to determine NFS/CIFS procedures in raw network traffic. Furthermore, it performs filtration, dumping, compression, statistical analysis, visualization and provides the API for custom pluggable analysis modules.
nfstrace
is written in C++ programming language and supports the
following protocols:
- Ethernet
- IPv4 | IPv6
- UDP | TCP
- NFSv3 | NFSv4 | NFSv4.1 | CIFSv1 | CIFSv2
nfstrace
has been tested on the following GNU/Linux and FreeBSD systems:
- Debian Sid packages build-logs
- Fedora 26
- OpenSUSE 13.2
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- CentOS 7
- Arch Linux
- FreeBSD 10.1
- Alt Linux 7.0.5
You can find more detailed description at docs/nfstrace_manual.pdf
Problems, bugs, questions, desirable enhancements, etc. should be sent to nfstrace@epam.com
- PCAP library (core component)
- JSON-C library (used for libjson.so plugin)
- Curses (used for libwatch.so plugin)
- GMock (used for testing)
Since nfstrace
is written in C++ you have to use gcc
>= 6 or
clang
>= 3.8. Additionally, you need to install development version of
libpcap
(version 1.3 or newer).
You can build nfstrace
using CMake (version 3.0 or
newer). From the top level project's directory run:
$ mkdir release
$ cd release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release ../
$ make
If you want to use specific compiler you can set the CC
and CXX
environment
variables:
$ CC="path/to/clang" CXX="path/to/clang++" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release ../
If you want to build unit-tests initialize git submodules and provide a path to googltest directory via CMake option:
$ -DGTEST_SOURCE_DIR=/home/user/nfstrace/third_party/googletest
If you want to specify different installation prefix:
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/your/path ../
You can use different build tools, compilers, packaging systems with required parameters. Please refer to CMake, CPack and Reference Manuals.
You can install nfstrace
to default location. After you build nfstrace
simply run:
$ sudo make install
If you're using rpm- or debian based Linux distribution you can try to generate
package for your system using cpack
. Please note that you need rpm or debian
tools to be installed.
In order to generate rpm package:
$ cpack -G RPM
In order to generate deb package:
$ cpack -G DEB
After that you'll be able to install generated package using your package manager.
There are prepared dumps in traces/
directory so you can perform quick sanity
check with the following command:
$ make test
Please note that ctest
is required in order to run tests, on some platforms
it is packaged separately from cmake
.
Scripts will run nfstrace
in different modes and compare its output with
reference results.
