.TH tcptracer 8 "2017-03-27" "USER COMMANDS" | ||
.SH NAME | ||
tcptracer \- Trace TCP established connections. Uses Linux eBPF/bcc. | ||
.SH SYNOPSIS | ||
.B tcptracer [\-h] [\-v] [\-p PID] [\-N NETNS] | ||
.SH DESCRIPTION | ||
This tool traces established TCP connections that open and close while tracing, | ||
and prints a line of output per connect, accept and close events. This includes | ||
the type of event, PID, IP addresses and ports. | ||
|
||
This tool works by using kernel dynamic tracing, and will need to be updated if | ||
the kernel implementation changes. Only established TCP connections are traced, | ||
so it is expected that the overhead of this tool is rather low. | ||
|
||
Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool. | ||
.SH REQUIREMENTS | ||
CONFIG_BPF and bcc. | ||
.SH OPTIONS | ||
.TP | ||
\-h | ||
Print usage message. | ||
.TP | ||
\-v | ||
Print full lines, with long event type names and network namespace numbers. | ||
.TP | ||
\-p PID | ||
Trace this process ID only (filtered in-kernel). | ||
.TP | ||
\-N NETNS | ||
Trace this network namespace only (filtered in-kernel). | ||
.TP | ||
.SH EXAMPLES | ||
.TP | ||
Trace all TCP established connections: | ||
# | ||
.B tcptracer | ||
.TP | ||
Trace all TCP established connections with verbose lines: | ||
# | ||
.B tcptracer \-v | ||
.TP | ||
Trace PID 181 only: | ||
# | ||
.B tcptracer \-p 181 | ||
.TP | ||
Trace connections in network namespace 4026531969 only: | ||
# | ||
.B tcptracer \-N 4026531969 | ||
.SH FIELDS | ||
.TP | ||
TYPE | ||
Type of event. In non-verbose mode: CN for connect, AC for accept, CL for close. | ||
.TP | ||
PID | ||
Process ID | ||
.TP | ||
COMM | ||
Process name | ||
.TP | ||
IP | ||
IP address family (4 or 6) | ||
.TP | ||
SADDR | ||
Source IP address. | ||
.TP | ||
DADDR | ||
Destination IP address. | ||
.TP | ||
SPORT | ||
Source port. | ||
.TP | ||
DPORT | ||
Destination port. | ||
.TP | ||
NETNS | ||
Network namespace where the event originated. | ||
.SH OVERHEAD | ||
This traces the kernel inet accept function, and the TCP connect, close, | ||
and set state functions. However, it only prints information for connections | ||
that are established, so it shouldn't have a huge overhead. | ||
|
||
As always, test and understand this tools overhead for your types of workloads | ||
before production use. | ||
