Lightweight network flows exporter compatible with [Sniffnet](https://github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet).

## Overview

`sniffnet-agent` captures traffic on a network interface, aggregates packets into
flows, and exports them as IPFIX (RFC 7011) records over UDP to a collector.

It lets you observe devices where running Sniffnet itself isn't practical
(headless servers, routers, embedded boxes, firewalls), forwarding their traffic to a
single Sniffnet instance that aggregates and visualizes activity across your
whole network from one place.

Any IPFIX exporter can feed Sniffnet, but `sniffnet-agent` is built for maximum compatibility:
it emits exactly the Information Elements (IEs) Sniffnet needs, allowing to export only the required data at the
expected rate, without having to configure a more complex exporter to do so.

[//]: # (## Install)

[//]: # (```sh)
[//]: # (cargo install sniffnet-agent)
[//]: # (```)

[//]: # (A working `libpcap` &#40;or `Npcap` on Windows&#41; installation is required.)

## Usage

```sh
sniffnet-agent --interface <IFACE> --collector <HOST:PORT>
```

Run with no arguments to be prompted interactively for the interface and collector.

### Options

| Flag                | Description                                           |
|---------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `-i`, `--interface` | Network interface to capture on (e.g. `en0`, `eth0`). |
| `-c`, `--collector` | Collector address as `HOST:PORT`.                     |
| `-f`, `--filter`    | BPF filter expression applied to the capture.         |
| `-v`, `--verbose`   | Enable debug logging.                                 |
