Hello,
I'm new member of shell scripting and i face some difficulties. To begin, i try to write an algorithm that calculate from one directory containing nfdump files (288) the entropy of one day 24hours. Each of the file is 5 min interval
(nfdump -r nfcapd.200908250000 -s srcip) 1st
(nfdump -r nfcapd.200908250005 -s srcip) 2nd
(nfdump -r nfcapd.200908250010 -s srcip) 3rd
...
(nfdump -r nfcapd.200908252350 -s srcip) last
taking the flows (first 10) to calculate the entropy of the first 5 min interval i did it (i hope so in the right way) and i took the results of the 1st 5 min interval entropy. the code that i have written is:
#!/bin/sh
#x1 to x10 are variables which include values. Top 10 srcip Addr ordered by flows
x1=7576
x2=5691
x3=5130
x4=4239
x5=4136
x6=3387
x7=3070
x8=2780
x9=2125
x10=2011
#sum is the total flows
sum=551892
#calculate the values for each srcip Addr (10)
calx1=`echo "scale=6;$x1 / $sum" | bc`
calx2=`echo "scale=6;$x2 / $sum" | bc`
calx3=`echo "scale=6;$x3 / $sum" | bc`
calx4=`echo "scale=6;$x4 / $sum" | bc`
calx5=`echo "scale=6;$x5 / $sum" | bc`
calx6=`echo "scale=6;$x6 / $sum" | bc`
calx7=`echo "scale=6;$x7 / $sum" | bc`
calx8=`echo "scale=6;$x8 / $sum" | bc`
calx9=`echo "scale=6;$x9 / $sum" | bc`
calx10=`echo "scale=6;$x10 / $sum" | bc`
#calculate the logarithmic values from x1 to x10
l1=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx1})" | bc -l`
l2=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx2})" | bc -l`
l3=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx3})" | bc -l`
l4=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx4})" | bc -l`
l5=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx5})" | bc -l`
l6=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx6})" | bc -l`
l7=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx7})" | bc -l`
l8=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx8})" | bc -l`
l9=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx9})" | bc -l`
l10=`echo "scale=6;l (${calx10})" | bc -l`
#calculate the total entropy for 5 min interval
RESULT=`echo "scale=6;${calx1} * ${l1} + ${calx2} * ${l2} + ${calx3} * ${l3} + ${calx4} * ${l4} + ${calx5} * ${l5} + ${calx6} * ${l6} + ${calx7} * ${l7} + ${calx8} * ${l8} + ${calx9} * ${l9} + ${calx10} * ${l10}" | bc -l`
echo "Entropy for 5 min interval is ${RESULT}"
I used the shannon entropy formula for this.
My main problem now is how to make a matrix -array of all 288 files of 5 min interval and how is possible to combine the above algorithm with the matrix? Please if someone knows how to do this just to give me some help - advise
Thanks
