.SH NAME
icmplog \- ICMP packet logger.

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B icmplog
[-f, --file
.I filename
] [-n, --no-resolve] [-v, --version]

.SH DESCRIPTION

.B icmplog
, a ICMP packet logger, is a part of the
.B jail
(just another ip logger) package.

icmplog is a small (daemon) process which logs all ICMP packets to the
local host. The syslog level at which a given packet is logged is
configurable depending on the ICMP type of the message. Packets from
specific hosts can be ignored, and a default log level can be specified.

icmplog can be useful in detecting attempted denials of service, and
monitoring network traffic, especially when used in conjunction with
.B tcplog(8).

The configuration is explained in the
.B icmplog.conf(5)
manual page.

.SH OPTIONS
.IP "-f, --file [ filename ]"
Use
.I filename
as the configuration file instead of the default
.I (/etc/icmplog.conf).
.IP "-n, --no-resolve"
Do not resolve IP addresses to hostnames.
.IP "-v, --version"
Display
.B icmplog(8)
version.

.SH "SEE ALSO"
