Virani

Installation & Setup

Install various Perl requiremnets. This can be taken care of with command below.

    cpanm Virani

Configure it.

For example on FreeBSD if you have daemonlogger set up something like below.

    daemonlogger_enable="YES"
    daemonlogger_flags="-f /usr/local/etc/daemonlogger.bpf -d -l /var/log/daemonlogger -t 120"

Then a basic config would be like below.

    default_set='default'
    allowed_subnets=["192.168.14.0/23", "127.0.0.1/8"]
    [sets.default]
    path='/var/log/daemonlogger'
    regex='(?<timestamp>\d\d\d\d\d\d+)(\.pcap|(?<subsec>\.\d+)\.pcap)$'
    strptime='%s'

For more information on the config file, see the POD for Virani.
