+
+ The ipfixprobe contains script that creates template for new process plugin. To use it follow these steps:
+
Run the script:
+ +cd process
+./create_plugin.sh
+ + +To create the process plugin follow these steps:
+Add plugin_name.hpp and plugin_name.cpp files to ipfixprobe_process_src variable in Makefile.am.
Implement process plugin event functions. Don't forget to remove unused events to keep default implementation.
Set PLUGIN_NAME_UNIREC_TEMPLATE and IPFIX_PLUGIN_NAME_TEMPLATE macros to export Unirec or IPFIX data respectively.
Define Unirec and IPFIX fields to export Unirec or IPFIX respectively.
Implement fill_ipfix and fill_unirec.
Update README.md.
pre_create Is called before the creation of new flow from the initial packet.
+post_create is called after the flow is created, taket newly created flow and initial packet.
+pre_update is called when incoming packet belongs to the existing flow, before the data from the packet are added to the flow.
+post_update is called after the data of the packet are added to the flow.
+pre_export is called right before the flow is exported.
+You can also create own input plugin.

+ + Requirements:The script builds the image automatically, but be sure that Dockerfile is in the same directory.
+ To build the manually image, navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile and run:
docker build -t docker_ipfixprobe .
+ +bash ./ipfixprobe_wrapper.sh <process_script.sh> <input_file.pcap> <output_file.csv>
+ +To process a file ../pcaps/mixed.pcap using a processing script process_script.sh and output the results to output.csv, use the following wrapper script:
+ +bash ./ipfixprobe_wrapper.sh ./process_script.sh ../pcaps/mixed.pcap ./output.csv
+ +The ipfxprobe can be set up to be used as a daemon to continuously process incoming packets from the boot up:
+Install the ipfixprobe:
+ +sudo make install
+ +Create your instance.conf configuration inspired by example configurations from the init directory and save it into the /etc/ipfixprobe/
+ Prepare the service configuration file:
sudo mv init/ipfixprobe@.service /etc/systemd/system/ipfixprobe@instance.service
+ +Set up the ExecStart from ipfixprobe@instance.service to point to the ipfixprobed script.
+To start the service use:
+ +sudo systemctl start ipfixprobe@instance.service
+ +To start the service at system startup, run:
+ +sudo systemctl enable ipfixprobe@instance.service
+ +Create and save the configuration file to the /etc/config/ipfixprobe. Example of configuration file:

+ +Monitor and analyze your network traffic for free!
+ +The ipfixprobe exporter can be deployed to small SOHO routers with OpenWRT operating systems. In case of Turris routers, ipfixprobe is available in its standard repositories.
+The ipfixprobe supports multiple inputs. From the high-speed DPDK or NDP inputs produced by specialized 100 Gbps network monitoring cards, + to slower interfaces such as libpcap that is supported in any operating system.
+The ipfixprobe support multiple output plugins. From the basic ones, where flow data are dumped to standard output in form of text to the standard IPFIX format, that can be used together with IPFIX collectors such as ipfixcol2, which enables multiple additional format outputs. Just check out the documentation to learn how to use ipfixprobe and ipfixcol2 together with systems like Apache Kafka or ELK.
