Multiple Devices in FlowViewer

Post by scruboy01 »

I have setup flow-capture seperately with multiple devices sending netflow data to 2055. I have two devices listed in the devices section. However, only the first device I had created is showing up in the drop-down back. Any suggestions?

After adding the device, did you restart the flow-capture service? Its necessary.

Yes, it has been restarted many times.

I am not using the plugin script/setup to determine how flow-capture runs. I have it running seperately. I just wanted to be able to view the data with the plugin.

Hum... very strange considering the dropdown box is just populated from the same table by using this query.

Code: Select all

SELECT folder, name FROM plugin_flowview_devices ORDER BY name

Hi,

i am having the same issue with my flowview.

I am to collect one device and everything seems to be working fine but it's working for one device.
When i add another device is not collecting data. TCPDUMP shows that packet arrives to the server but flow-capture do not create any files.

In flow-capture I am using :

Code: Select all

#HQ_GTS
OPTIONS="-n 287 -N 0 -w /var/flow-tools/HQ_GTS -S 5 0/10.125.5.1/2055"

#HQ_NETIA
OPTIONS="-n 287 -N 0 -w /var/flow-tools/HQ_NETIA -S 5 0/10.123.5.1/2055"
I also try to use -N 3 parametrs. It always create only files for #HQ_NETIA. When I turn off options for netia, then it collects data for GTS.



I see devices in database :
Output from SQL command SELECT folder, name FROM plugin_flowview_devices ORDER BY name; ..

folder name
HQ_GTS HQ_GTS
HQ_NETIA HQ_NETIA
ROTUER_LAB ROTUER_LAB



Any idea how to fix this problem? I think i tried everything.



Best regars
