Flow-Tools "where?"

[wirwav]

My apologies if this has been asked before or that it may sound dumb.

I am trying to graph with Flowview plugin. My router is already sending flows.

I have read that I have to install the Flow-tools package which would explain why under the Misc tab in settings, my paths to the binary is red.

Since I have installed using the windows installer (very useful), where do I find the binary file (windows) and all the necessary files for Flow-Tools..

Is there a windows installer for that.

Maybe I am missing it on the cacti site or something, but I seem to be going in circles.

Thanks

I have the same issue more or less. I haven't been able to install flow tools on the windows server. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

I think we may have to go on to Linux,

I could think of worse things......

I would rather stick hot needles in my eyes and whack my testicles between 2 bricks!

I just came from Linux and I gave up with it as an OS. There are now too many variants, and little constructive help! And I found that the whole user/superuser thing was a minefield and finally the other program that I HAVE to use on this box does not run well under WINE environment.

So after 14 weeks and Ubuntu 10.04 lts, 12, puppy lucid, puppy Antix, Slacko, Bodhi and a few more I gave up!

Cacti traffic flow is not an essential for me as I have Ntop to fall back on, but after a weekend of issues with Ntop and WinPcap I finally managed to get Ntop working again..

Now I just have to graph it!!!

Is there anyone out there who might be willing to make an installer for the windows binary!

Why in the world would you want to run windows and Centos is still the best plain English like linux out there.
