Top talkers on particular service

Hey Stewart,
All the tools support the "-M rmon" mode now, so you add that to your racluister() call.

  racluster -M rmon -m proto dport

Should be the equivalent. Adding a " - tcp or udp" filter maybe a good idea here.

If you have any problems, don't hesitate to send mail!!

I figure I may as well do them together in one hit. I've already
compiled them on another system (same hardware) so should just be a
matter of copying the binaries over.

Also, has 'ramon' been replaced by another tool? I cant seem to find it
in the new builds. I use it to graph service distribution in cacti,
"ramon -M Svc -nn -r argus-$DATE.arg - port 80 or 443". Is there a new
way to generate the same in 3.0 ?

Cheers, 

Stewart

Hey Stewart,
You don't have to upgrade your argus, just the client programs.
The new clients can read argus-2.x data fine.
