[Nfsen-discuss] IPv6 resolver/lookup

[Jansen J. <jo...@sn...>]

Peter,

A click on an IPv6 address gives a box stating

"Use IPv6 long format for IPv6lookup"

The man page of nfdump is quite clear: 


"To  make  the output more readable, IPv6 addresses are shrinked down to
       16 characters. The seven most and seven least digits connected with two
       dots  '..'  are  displayed in any normal output formats. To display the
       full IPv6 address, use the appropriate long format, which is the format
       name followed by a 6.

       Example:  -o line displays an IPv6 address as 2001:23..80:d01e where as
       the  format  -o  line6  displays  the  IPv6  address  in  full   length
       2001:234:aabb::211:24ff:fe80:d01e.   The  combination  of -o line -6 is
       equivalent to -o line6…."

Unless I missed something really obvious I cannot see how to make the appropriate edit to nfsen.conf  


BTW "shrinked" sounds a bit like "processed by a psychologist"; "shrunk" would probably do. 

Patch level of collector:

FreeBSD hp.udonix.nl 9.1-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE-p4 #0: Mon Jun 17 11:42:37 UTC 2013     

nfdump-1.6.9        Command-line tools to collect and process NetFlow data
nfsen-1.3.6p1_2     Web based frontend to nfdump netflow collector

Patch level of source:

OpenBSD net6501.udonix.nl 5.3 GENERIC.MP#0 amd64


softflowd-0.9.8p0   flow-based network traffic analyser
softflowd -i em1 -v 9 -m 50000 -n 10.1.0.12:9995

source gets packets from an HP Procurve switch with port mirroring enabled (this is a low-end switch without netflow etc used at home and therefore I use a Soekris to capture all packets).

Best regards,
