gpctl

CLI tool to query and modify goProbe's internal state

Invocation

./gpctl -s unix:/var/run/goprobe status eth0 eth1

This will produce the capture statistics (processed packets, drops, active capture, etc.) for interfaces eth0 and eth1.

Reloading goProbe's Configuration

To force a configuration reload of goProbe's interface configuration, point to its configuration file and run

./gpctl -s unix:/var/run/goprobe config -f /path/to/goprobe.yaml

Configuration

To avoid having to specify goProbe's API server address with every call, it is recommended to provide a minimal configuration file guiding API query behavior and creating an alias:

alias gpctl="./gpctl --config /path/to/gpctl.yaml"

Refer to gpctl-example-config.yaml for configuration options.
