IP-MONITOR(8)                                 Linux                                 IP-MONITOR(8)



NAME
       ip-monitor, rtmon - state monitoring

SYNOPSIS
       ip monitor [ all | OBJECT-LIST ] [ file FILENAME ] [ label ] [ all-nsid ] [ dev DEVICE ]



OPTIONS
       -t, -timestamp
              Prints timestamp before the event message on the separated line in format:
                  Timestamp: <Day> <Month> <DD> <hh:mm:ss> <YYYY> <usecs> usec
                  <EVENT>


       -ts, -tshort
              Prints short timestamp before the event message on the same line in format:
                  [<YYYY>-<MM>-<DD>T<hh:mm:ss>.<ms>] <EVENT>


DESCRIPTION
       The ip utility can monitor the state of devices, addresses and routes continuously. This
       option has a slightly different format.  Namely, the monitor command is the first in the
       command line and then the object list follows:

       ip monitor [ all | OBJECT-LIST ] [ file FILENAME ] [ label ] [ all-nsid ] [ dev DEVICE ]

       OBJECT-LIST is the list of object types that we want to monitor.  It may contain link,
       address, route, mroute, prefix, neigh, netconf, rule and nsid.  If no file argument is
       given, ip opens RTNETLINK, listens on it and dumps state changes in the format described
       in previous sections.


       If the label option is set, a prefix is displayed before each message to show the family
       of the message. For example:

         [NEIGH]10.16.0.112 dev eth0 lladdr 00:04:23:df:2f:d0 REACHABLE [LINK]3: eth1: <BROAD-
         CAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default
             link/ether 52:54:00:12:34:57 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff



       If the all-nsid option is set, the program listens to all network namespaces that have a
       nsid assigned into the network namespace were the program is running.  A prefix is dis-
       played to show the network namespace where the message originates. Example:

         [nsid 0]10.16.0.112 dev eth0 lladdr 00:04:23:df:2f:d0 REACHABLE



       If the file option is given, the program does not listen on RTNETLINK, but opens the given
       file, and dumps its contents. The file should contain RTNETLINK messages saved in binary
       format.  Such a file can be generated with the rtmon utility. This utility has a command
       line syntax similar to ip monitor.  Ideally, rtmon should be started before the first net-
       work configuration command is issued. F.e. if you insert:

               rtmon file /var/log/rtmon.log

       in a startup script, you will be able to view the full history later.


       Nevertheless, it is possible to start rtmon at any time.  It prepends the history with the
       state snapshot dumped at the moment of starting.


       If the dev option is given, the program prints only events related to this device.
