FLOWVIEW SETTING

[duwijakarta]

hello, any help me, When installing FlowView, does the switch need to add a specific script or can it automatically retrieve data for the FlowView plugin? thanks

[duwijakarta]

I have attached the following files

[macan]

you need configure netflow on you switch/router.
How to use Flowview plugin is described in /path/to/cacti/plugins/flowview/README.md

[macan]

You need to run listener on your system. It is described in plugins/flowview/service/README.md

thanks sir, do i need to add a special netflow script to the switch? or maybe there is a specific script that i need to add to the switch? i have tried to create a listener, can i please check your dm sir?

[macan]

no script. Configure netflow on your switch and destination will be your cacti device.
Run listener on your cacti, I wrote about listener above

can I read the listener on this link?
https://github.com/Cacti/plugin_flowvie ... /README.md

What brand are your switch ?

What brand are your switch ?

all cisco, sir

So here is a sample of config you can use on your switch:
flow exporter CACTI
description Cacti-server
destination <IP of cacti>
transport udp <UDP port you define on cacti as Listener port>

flow record R1
match ipv4 protocol
match ipv4 source address
match ipv4 destination address
match transport source-port
match transport destination-port
match ipv4 tos
match interface input
collect counter bytes
collect counter packets
collect interface output
!
flow monitor M1
record R1
exporter CACTI
cache entries 1000

Then you apply the flow function on the port you want to monitor:
interface <interface name like Te1/1/27>
ip flow monitor M1 input


it's basically the same for all model of Cisco switch

Thank you sir,
In the listener settings section "allowed Host Range" is it filled with the IP Address used when remote device or what?
And for the "destination <ip of cacti>" section, is it filled with the IP of the cacti server? For example, I use the cacti server "192.168.x.x" -> "destination 192.168.x.x" is that right?

sorry I have tried to help with DM, please help check DM sir for details, I have tried to apply it but it still doesn't work, maybe there are suggestions, thank you

The "allowed host Range" can be let to 0, no filter on who is sending the traffic.
but you can also specify the IP of the device that send the netflow traffic.

And Yes <IP of cacti> mean the ip of the cacti server.
