Does this Flowview setup look correct to you?

[kdsmith]

I installed this last month and am just now getting around to troubleshooting the install.

Here is one of the directories that my flows have gone:

/var/netflow/flows/Router/2012/2012-02/2012-02-03

Here is my listener setup:
Router /Router /YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD 0 2055 NetFlow version 5 0 15 Minutes 2 Days

The console settings all show [OK: DIR FOUND] so I don't think that is it.

Do I need the "/" on the Router directory on the listener settings? Does the rest look okay? The sub-directory settings seem to match what is on the server. Yet, I'm not seeing anything on the Cacti page. And when I click on one of the "bar" boxes, I get:

Open Flash Chart

JSON Parse Error [Syntax Error]
Error at character 0, line 1:

0:

I believe that is just because it isn't seeing the data.

What am I missing on this?

Thanks,
Kevin

Anybody have any suggestions on this (other than using my belt for a noose)?

Thanks,

I sympathise: I reckon I've got the setup running & data is being stored, but I get that JSON error, but can't find a soln on google.
Anyone got the answer please..

Cheers

Hello,

This plugin is working nicely although I think it has some (feature) drawbacks. I would like to thank the author anyway.

To debug please

Start flow-capture

Code: Select all

# flow-capture -w /somepath/cacti/netflow/ -S5 -V5 -n  96 127.0.0.1/0/12345

And check

Code: Select all

# flow-cat -p /somepath/cacti/netflow/2011/2011-12/2011-12-09/ft-v05.2011-12-09.231815+0100 | flow-stat -f8

Create the listener

Code: Select all

Directory = /

The root is considered regarding the Flows directory that you have configured in settings (Configuration > Settings > Misc)

Also, you have checked
- Where the flow tools are installed and configured Flow Tools Binary Path (Configuration > Settings > Misc) accordingly
- Configured a Flow Tools Work Directory such as /tmp
- that the .sql script plugin_flowview_ports.sql has been imported

Hopefully this will help you
