I am trying to get the output from the command

iperf -c 10.0.0.1 -t 3600 -i 2

And only need the Interval and bandwidth fields listed for the entire hour of logging.

I haven't used grep or awk in years upon years.

Help would be awesome!

Sample Output:

------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to node2, TCP port 5001
TCP window size:  129 KByte (WARNING: requested  130 KByte)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  3] local <IP Addr node1> port 2530 connected with <IP Addr node2> port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec  19.7 MBytes  15.8 Mbits/sec

Desired Output:

0.0-10.0 15.8

  • I think I'm done. See previous revision(s) for a mess with sed. Feedback on possible improvement are welcomed. – guest-vm May 15 '18 at 7:09

If you are using iperf2 you might want to try the -yC formatting option

[root@localhost iperf2-code]# src/iperf -c 192.168.1.4 -i 1 -yC -t 5 20180510151943,192.168.1.1,42090,192.168.1.4,5001,3,0.0-1.0,63438848,507510784 20180510151944,192.168.1.1,42090,192.168.1.4,5001,3,1.0-2.0,63569920,508559360 20180510151945,192.168.1.1,42090,192.168.1.4,5001,3,2.0-3.0,57802752,462422016 20180510151946,192.168.1.1,42090,192.168.1.4,5001,3,3.0-4.0,57409536,459276288 20180510151947,192.168.1.1,42090,192.168.1.4,5001,3,4.0-5.0,57016320,456130560 20180510151947,192.168.1.1,42090,192.168.1.4,5001,3,0.0-5.0,299237376,478429304

  • How, exactly, do you consider this to be an answer?  Your output does not look very much like what the question is asking for. – Scott May 11 '18 at 0:40
  • -yC will format the output as csv, which will then be significantly more parseable. For example, the output from Robert's answer can be piped into something like | cut -d, -f3-4 – Nick S May 11 '18 at 3:34
  • This is a cool idea but does not work since bandwidth field does not show. I can parse only Interval here and the rest is IPs or ports – Gutsygibbon May 14 '18 at 17:03
