Hi,

We've been using nfdump with nfsen for years.  Thanks for supporting
such a great product.

Recently, we've been trying to implement IPFIX with a couple of Cisco
4500X's and have been seeing an odd problem.  The dumps come out with
the wrong timestamp and INVALID as the event.

$ nfdump -r nfcapd.201507081630-sample

I thought this might be due to the template not being sent enough, so
I manually added the "template data timeout 30" to the flow exporter.
 This does show the template being sent every 30 seconds now in the
packet captures, but the date/time and event is still incorrect.

Originally I was running 1.6.11 that comes with EL6, but then I
compiled and installed 1.6.13 to see if it was fixed there.  I'm still
seeing the same behavior.

Attached is a packet capture with three packets.  Two have a template,
and one does not.  Also, is an nfcapd file that shows some of those
flows that were included in the packet capture.

Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help troubleshoot.

Thanks,
Brian
