No devices in FlowViewer (plugin)

Post by packet_boy »

Can someone help me with this - I have no devices showing up in the drop-down menu of the FlowViewer plugin. The plugin is ver 0.3 (the all PHP version) and all my flow tools are installed correctly. I double-checked all my paths also. Is the device list generated dynamically? I am not sure

Thanks for any help!

Before we get too far, if you click on the view button below, without making any changes to the criteria, does any results show up? Regardless of what device you choose, you should still be able to view.
If you don't recieve results, you may have to double check the flow viewer config, make sure that the paths to flow files is correct, ensure the proper folder mask is set, and check inside that directory to see if any files are there. If all above is correct, :-? well, lemme know if you overlooked any of these. Oh, check the file sizes of the flow files, they shouldn't be less than a few bytes. (Scratching head) I thought I had one other point too.....
Ok, so now assume you get results, well, then you're where I'm at. I have it working, but my drop down is blank. I think it autopopulates when you have more than one netflow emmitters. But I am not concerned about it, becuase I only have one emitter....
Also, that TMP folder, make sure that cacti can write to it! (Check settings)

I get no results, no anything when I click on view. Here is an example of my flow file - does it look correct, 92 bytes?

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 92 Jul 30 17:51 ft-v05.2007-07-30.175001-0500

I verified with tcpdump that my flows are being collected. Thanks for you assistance.
