[ARGUS] Ratop missing

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Monah,

All clients can print country codes on output but that doesn’t add the country codes to the records, which is key to filtering, sorting, or aggregating on them.  In these cases, the values need to be inserted in the records.  The best way to add them to the flow record is having radium label the records, so your approach is the right strategy …

When I see this king of mystery, usually I have radium connecting to itself, and no data is generated … (especially if there is a system radium, and I’m trying to do something else) … best way is to run your radium with some debugging …
   % radium -D3 -S localhost:562 -P 561 -e `hostname`. (Without the -d)

That should give away some secrets ...

If you are setting something on the command line and using the /etc/argus.conf or /etc/radium.conf, there could some conf collision with your command line options.  This is not the usually case, so I would suspect you have another radium …

Ratop, because of curses can do some weird stuff like blank screens (I get this sometimes trying to read from mysql tables) … What happens when you connect ra to port 561 …
   % ra -S localhost
