Assistance with Flowview

Post by fiberplz »

Running flowview 4.8 from official github
Cacti 1.2.27

Fresh install on CentOS 9. Export sflow from hsflowd on another centos 9 vm. Traffic appears to be passing according to tcpdump.


I am getting the following error:

It seems that your device sending something version other than 5,9 or 10.

Please edit file flow_collector.php on line 881

} elseif ($version == 10) {
$db_version = 'IPFIX';
}

$update_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

to

} elseif ($version == 10) {
$db_version = 'IPFIX';
} else {
cacti_log('xxxxxx:' . $version . ':xxxxxx' , false, 'FLOWVIEW');
}

$update_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Restart flow collector and you should have in cacti log lines with xxxx. Please post here few lines.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
