monitord

To collect packet headers from the SCNM host, do the following:

First, start monitord on a host where the packet headers will be sent to:

     monitord &
     

monitord writes out data to file named FC_N_SRCIP:SRCPORT_DSTIP:DSTPORT.EXT, where:

An example file might be named:

     FC0160598_104.101.32.200:43196_80.87.164.90:61497_80ce000.dat
     or
     VR555_13.23.200.111:0_13.23.200.244:1901_80ce000.dat
     

The file name will start with either FR (for fixed record) or VR (for variable length records).

The file name should look like this:

     FC0160598_104.101.32.200:43196_80.87.164.90:61497.dat
     

if it looks like:

     FC0160598_104.101.32.200:43196_80.87.164.90:61497_80ce000.dat
     

(notice the 7 extra chars near the end), it is a 'temporary' file, and will be renamed without the 7 extra chars when the session finishes.
