Dear All,

Can anyone please recommend any opensource Netflow collector

which either comes with a reporter software or will integrate

well any other Netflow visualisation software.

Would appreciate any suggestion or input on this.

      Currently. I'm satisfied to nfdump (the collector) and NfSen (the

      visualisation part).

      http://nfdump.sourceforge.net/

      http://nfsen.sourceforge.net/

      Cheers,

      Not yet, but the current nfdump release claims to support it.

    • This one isn't free, but there is a thirty day eval, and we've found it

      well worth the $795 license cost. Not sure what you're trying to do but

      this has relieved all sorts of aches and pains for us on the monitoring

      front.

      I'm running v9 through nfdump.

      No IPv6 flows yet, but I see no reason it would be a problem.

      HWEVER - the nfdump file format does not record some of the extended

      fields which the nf9 can contain and would be useful to - example, the

      mac address

      (It also doesn't store the netmask of the matching route, which would be

      useful for us too)

      I did look at the code but it's non-trivial.

      Is anyone running netflow v9 + ipv6 through anything open-source like?

      Yes, with a NPE-G1 running 12.4(something). nfsen/nfdump in current

      snapshots, works like a charm, except that I did not manage to get ASN

      information out of it yet.

      Now if we had IPv6 netflow capabilities in 12.2SX (for 6500) or 12.2SB

      :-\

      Bernhard

    • Hi Adrian,

      We run Netflow v9 + ipv6 with nfdump + nfsen. It seems to be

      working.
