## Prerequisites
* [python]:
- 3.4
- 3.5
- 3.5-dev
- nightly
* [pip](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip)

## Installation
$ sudo pip install pdml2flow

## Usage
```shell
$ pdml2flow -h
usage: pdml2flow [-h] [-f FLOW_DEF_STR] [-t FLOW_BUFFER_TIME] [-l DATA_MAXLEN]
[-s] [-x] [-c] [-a] [-m] [-d]

Aggregates wireshark pdml to flows

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f FLOW_DEF_STR Fields which define the flow, nesting with: '.'
[default: ['vlan.id', 'ip.src', 'ip.dst', 'ipv6.src',
'ipv6.dst', 'udp.stream', 'tcp.stream']]
-t FLOW_BUFFER_TIME Lenght (in seconds) to buffer a flow before writing the
packets [default: 180]
-l DATA_MAXLEN Maximum lenght of data in tshark pdml-field [default:
200]
-s Extract show names, every data leave will now look like
{ raw : [] , show: [] } [default: False]
-x Switch to xml output [default: False]
-c Removes duplicate data when merging objects, will not
preserve order of leaves [default: False]
-a Instaead of merging the frames will append them to an
array [default: False]
-m Appends flow metadata [default: False]
-d Debug mode [default: False]
```
## Example
Sniff from interface:

```shell
$ tshark -i interface -Tpdml | pdml2flow
```

Write xml output
```shell
$ tshark -i interface -Tpdml | pdml2flow -x
```

Read a .pcap file
```shell
$ tshark -r pcap_file -Tpdml | pdml2flow
```

Aggregate based on ethernet source and ethernet destination address
```shell
$ tshark -i interface -Tpdml | pdml2flow -f eth.src -f eth.dst
```

Pretty print flows using [jq]
```shell
$ tshark -i interface -Tpdml | pdml2flow | jq
```

Post-process flows using [FluentFlow]
```shell
$ tshark -i interface -Tpdml | pdml2flow | fluentflow rules.js
```
