GPSS utilizes Gnuplot as a front end to analyze log files generated by Snort Perfmonitor. The software allows for efficient data analysis and visualization.
GPSS is a powerful gnuplot front-end software that is designed to analyze and graph snort perfmonitor log files. This software offers both 2D and 3D interactive or batch graphing, which helps users to analyze various metrics such as bits per second, packets per second, drop percentage, fragments per second, and more.
GPSS has proven to be useful to users as both a performance evaluation tool or a SNOC tool in the short term, and as a trending tool for longer terms. Users can access the list of arguments by using the '--help' flag. The software also features a tutorial and frequently asked questions (FAQ) section, which can be accessed with the './gpss --tutorial | less' or './gpss --faq | less' commands.
One of the remarkable things about GPSS is its usability. On the assumption that the data file, /var/snort/snort.stats, is stored on a machine, a user can run the './gpss tlgraph' command, and immediately get a nice 3D graph to play with on their X display. By default, GPSS checks back with the file every five seconds and re-plots if there is new data.
The latest version of GPSS comes loaded with exciting new features. The system has been modularized and extended to support data types other than snort performance files. GPSS now handles about 10 different /proc files, nagios_perf data, snmpgets, traceroute, vmstat, and arbitrary key-value pairs.
In summary, GPSS is an incredible software that makes it easy for users to analyze and graph snort perfmonitor log files. Its user-friendly interface, extensive features, and regular updates make it a top choice for anyone looking for a reliable gnuplot front-end software.
