Plugin monitoring
plugin development monitoring
Contents
Introduction
As detailed in monitoring mode tutorial,
T2 can either be remotely controlled by USR1/2 signals or by the t2stat command.
Each plugin can implement a monitoring function which will be called during monitoring or report operation.
Getting started
Create folders for your data and results
If you have not created a separate data and results directory yet, please do it now. This will greatly facilitate your workflow:
mkdir ~/data ~/results
Reset tranalyzer2 and the plugins configuration
If you have followed the other tutorials, you may have modified some of the core and plugins configuration. To ensure your results match those in this tutorial, make sure to reset everything:
t2conf -a --reset
You can also clean all build files:
t2build -a -c
Empty the plugin folder
To ensure we are not left with some unneeded plugins or plugins which were built using different core configuration, it is safer to empty the plugins folder:
t2build -e -y
Are you sure you want to empty the plugin folder '/home/user/.tranalyzer/plugins' (y/N)? yes
Plugin folder emptied
Download the PCAP file
The PCAP file used in this tutorial can be downloaded here:
Please save it in your ~/data folder:
wget --no-check-certificate -P ~/data https://tranalyzer.com/download/data/annoloc2.pcap
Configure Tranalyzer2 core
For this tutorial, we need to activate the monitoring mode using PCAP time. We want to produce a differential machine report. All the required flags reside in main.h:
tranalyzer2/src/main.h
MONINTTMPCP=1(monitoring mode using PCAP time)DIFF_REPORT=1(differential report)MACHINE_REPORT=1(machine report)
Change the configuration of Tranalyzer2 using the following t2conf command:
t2conf tranalyzer2 -D MONINTTMPCP=1 -D DIFF_REPORT=1 -D MACHINE_REPORT=1
Build tranalyzer2 and the required plugins
For this tutorial, we will need to build the core (tranalyzer2) and the following plugin:
We do not need flow output, so no sink plugin is needed.
As you may have modified some of the automatically generated files, it is safer to use the -r and -f options.

BUILDING SUCCESSFUL
Source code
In this tutorial, we will extend tcpWin03.tar.gz, the final version of the previous tutorial (Plugin end report).
If you are impatient, you can download the intermediate and final versions of the tcpWin plugin we will develop in this tutorial.
To use one of those plugins, just unpack it in the plugins folder of your T2 installation.
tranpl
tar -xf ~/Downloads/tcpWin05.tar.gz
And let t2_aliases know about it:
source "$T2HOME/scripts/t2_aliases"
Implementing the monitoring
If your plugin wants to contribute information to the monitoring mode, then global variables and
a void t2Monitoring(FILE *stream, uint8_t state) callback have to be added.
So open tcpWin.c and add two global variables after the tcpWinFlows definition. Look for the // <-- markers below.
If you already completed the end report tutorial, you only need to add the winStatG0 variable, which will be used in the differential
mode to store the old value of winStatG. If this is your first plugin just add both variables: winStatG and winStatG0.
Note that if you use one of the T2_LOG*_DIFF*() macro, then variables MUST always follow this naming convention: variable name for old value = variable name for current value suffixed with 0, e.g., static uint8_t myVar, myVar0;.
tcpWin
vi src/tcpWin.c
...
/*
* Plugin variables that may be used by other plugins (MUST be declared in
* the header file as 'extern tcpWinFlow_t *tcpWinFlows;'
*/
tcpWinFlow_t *tcpWinFlows;
/*
* Static variables are only visible in this file
*/
static uint32_t pktTcpCnt; // Aggregated TCP packet count
static uint32_t winThCntG, winThCntG0; // <-- Aggregated win threshold count and variable for the last threshold count
static uint8_t tcpWinStat; // <-- Aggregated status
...Then in the t2OnFlowTerminate(...) callback, add the lines marked by // <-- to aggregate
tcpWinStat and winThCnt of all flows, if you did not do the end report tutorial.
Here we aggregate all flow information into global variables.
vi src/tcpWin.c
...
void t2OnFlowTerminate(unsigned long flowIndex, outputBuffer_t *buf) {
tcpWinFlow_t * const tcpWinFlowP = &tcpWinFlows[flowIndex];
tcpWinStat |= tcpWinFlowP->stat; // <-- Aggregate all packet flags
pktTcpCnt += tcpWinFlowP->pktTcpCnt; // Count all TCP packets
winThCntG += tcpWinFlowP->winThCnt; // <-- Sum all winThCnt packet counts
OUTBUF_APPEND_U8(buf, tcpWinFlowP->stat);
OUTBUF_APPEND_U8(buf, tcpWinFlowP->ttl);
OUTBUF_APPEND_U32(buf, tcpWinFlowP->tcpWinInit);
OUTBUF_APPEND_U32(buf, tcpWinFlowP->winThCnt);
float f = 0.0;
if (tcpWinFlowP->pktTcpCnt) f = (float)tcpWinFlowP->winThCnt/(float)tcpWinFlowP->pktTcpCnt;
OUTBUF_APPEND_FLT(buf, f);
}
...Note, that a snapshot taken by the monitoring is now only representing the terminated flows not the actually existing
state in the memory. If you want that, you need to shift that code, a bit modified into the t2OnLayer4(...)
callback. We will try that later.
Implementing the t2Monitoring() callback
Now add the void t2Monitoring(FILE *stream, uint8_t state) callback after the t2OnFlowTerminate(...) callback (or after the t2PluginReport(...) callback if you implemented the end report already).
The t2Monitoring(...) function is called by the core:
- At T2 initialization:
T2_MON_PRI_HDRfor the machine mode to output header information. - At a USR1/2 interrupt:
T2_MON_PRI_VALto print data in the machine mode andT2_MON_PRI_REPORTfor the report mode.
Note the DIFF_REPORT pragma, which implements the backup of the old winThCntG value.
If one case is not implemented, nothing will appear.
vi src/tcpWin.c
...
/*
* This function is used to report information regarding the plugin
* at regular interval or when a USR1 signal is received.
*/
void t2Monitoring(FILE *stream, uint8_t state) {
switch (state) {
// Print the name of the variables that will be output
case T2_MON_PRI_HDR: // hdr output at the beginning
fputs("winPktThCnt" SEP_CHR, stream); // Note the trailing separator (SEP_CHR)
return;
// Print the variables to monitor
case T2_MON_PRI_VAL: // USR1/2 interrupt machine mode
// Note the trailing separator (SEP_CHR)
fprintf(stream, "%" PRIu32 /* winPktThCnt */ SEP_CHR, winThCntG - winThCntG0);
break;
// Print a report similar to t2PluginReport()
case T2_MON_PRI_REPORT: // USR1/2 interrupt report mode
T2_FPLOG_DIFFNUMP(stream, plugin_name,
"Number of TCP winsize packets below threshold" STR(TCPWIN_THRES),
winThCntG, numPackets);
break;
default: // Invalid state, do nothing
return;
}
#if DIFF_REPORT == 1
winThCntG0 = winThCntG; // differential mode, save the old value
#endif // DIFF_REPORT == 1
}
...After you edited the skeleton code you should compare your implementation with tcpWin04.tar.gz.
Now compile tcpWin.
t2build tcpWin
If compilation was error free, execute T2 with the -l option to redirect all end report info to the file ~/results/annoloc2_log.txt.
t2 -r ~/data/annoloc2.pcap -l -w ~/results/

Wasn’t so difficult, right?
Now remove tcpStates and rerun T2:
t2build -u tcpStatesPlugin 'tcpStates' UNLOADING SUCCESSFUL

tcpStates plugin
all output of your tcpWin plugin is now 0. Why?
Because no flow terminated yet!
The timeout is by default three minutes (180 seconds) and the processing time of the pcap is only 0.5 seconds.
So one way is to reduce the flow timeout (FLOW_TIMEOUT in tranalyzer.h), the other is to move the code to
the t2OnLayer4(...) callback as already indicated above.
So delete or comment out the two lines we added in the t2OnFlowTerminate(...) callback and
add the lines marked with // <-- in the t2OnLayer4(...) callback.
vi src/tcpWin.c
...
void t2OnLayer4(packet_t *packet, unsigned long flowIndex) {
const flow_t * const flowP = &flows[flowIndex];
if (flowP->l4Proto != L3_TCP) return; // process only TCP
// only 1. frag packet will be processed
if (!t2_is_first_fragment(packet)) return;
tcpWinFlow_t * const tcpWinFlowP = &tcpWinFlows[flowIndex];
const tcpHeader_t * const tcpHeader = (tcpHeader_t*)packet->l4HdrP;
const uint32_t tcpWin = ntohs(tcpHeader->window);
if (tcpWin < TCPWIN_THRES) {
tcpWinFlowP->winThCnt++; // count the packet
tcpWinFlowP->stat |= TCPWIN_STAT_THU; // set the status bit
tcpWinStat |= tcpWinFlowP->stat; // <-- Aggregate all packet flags
winThCntG++; // <-- count all winThCnt packet
}
}

Conclusion
Play a bit around with the different types of reporting and change the config in tranalyzer.h and main.h as being discussed in monitoring mode. And compare the results to the end report. Also try to run t2 on an interface, and play around with the different time base modes and remote control options in main.h.
At this point I like to refer to the monitoring mode tutorial.
And don’t forget to reset the monitoring mode:
t2conf tranalyzer2 -D MONINTTMPCP=0 -D DIFF_REPORT=0 -D MACHINE_REPORT=0 && t2build -R
or use the new command:
t2conf --reset tranalyzer2 && t2build -R
You can download the final version of the tcpWin plugin.
The next tutorial will teach you how to add plugin packet output.
Have fun writing plugins!
