samplicator_docker

A Docker Container for Samplicator https://github.com/sleinen/samplicator

Samplicator can be used to forward UDP packets to multiple destinations.

Usage

The usage convention for samplicator is...

sudo docker run -it --network host robcowart/samplicator:1.0.1_1.3.8rc1 [<option>...] [<destination>...]

The allowed <option>s are...

Option Description
-d <level> to set the debugging level
-s <address> to set interface address on which to listen for incoming packets (default any)
-p <port> to set the UDP port on which to listen for incoming packets (default 2000)
-b <buflen> size of receive buffer (default 65536)
-c <configfile> specify a config file to read
-x <delay> to specify a transmission delay after each packet, in units of microseconds
-S maintain (spoof) source addresses
-n don't compute UDP checksum (only relevant with -S)
-f fork program into background
-m <pidfile> write the process ID to a file
-4 IPv4 only
-6 IPv6 only
-h to print a usage message and exit
-u <pdulen> size of max pdu on listened socket (default 65536)

Each <destination> should be specified as <addr>[/<port>[/<interval>[,ttl]]], where...

Parameter Description
<addr> IP address of the receiver
<port> port UDP number of the receiver (default 2000)
<freq> number of received datagrams between successive copied datagrams for this receiver.
<ttl> The TTL (IPv4) or hop-limit (IPv6) for outgoing datagrams.

Config file format:

a.b.c.d[/e.f.g.h]: receiver ...

where:

a.b.c.d     is the sender's IP address
e.f.g.h     is a mask to apply to the sender (default 255.255.255.255)
receiver    see above.

Receivers specified on the command line will get all packets, those specified in the config-file will get only packets with a matching source.

Starting Samplicator with docker-compose

The included docker-compose.yml file provides examples of using samplicator to forward Netflow, IPFIX, sFlow, Syslog and SNMP Traps.
