icmplog(8)
NAME
icmplog - ICMP packet logger.
SYNOPSIS
icmplog [-f, --file filename ] [-n, --no-resolve] [-v,
--version]
DESCRIPTION
- icmplog , a ICMP packet logger, is a part of the jail
- (just another ip logger) package.
- icmplog is a small (daemon) process which logs all ICMP
- packets to the local host. The syslog level at which a given
- packet is logged is configurable depending on the ICMP type of
- the message. Packets from specific hosts can be ignored, and a
- default log level can be specified.
- icmplog can be useful in detecting attempted denials of
- service, and monitoring network traffic, especially when used in
- conjunction with tcplog(8).
- The configuration is explained in the icmplog.conf(5) man
- ual page.
OPTIONS

- Use filename as the configuration file instead of
- the default (/etc/icmplog.conf).
