Hi guys, NetFlow on the Fortigate devices is a relatively new thing. I've been using sFlow on these devices for years, and it's been working very well.
We're planning to swap out a lot of the older Fortigate devices for new Cisco routers that can only do NetFlow, so I'd like to get NetFlow working on the remaining Fortigates as well, to have all flows handled by the same system. I have sfacctd and nfacctd both setup and configured on the same server. The configuration of the two are almost identical, yet the flow numbers I get are not even close. These are the entries in the database tables for netflow vs sflow of me downloading a 1054867456 byte .iso file. Just to be clear, the fortigate is exporting both NetFlow and sFlow at the same time. I have tried to disable sFlow, but the NetFlow results are the same.

Has anybody seen this before? Perhaps I'm missing some vital clue? I have not dug very deep into the numbers Ireceive from the Cisco boxes, but those numbers seem to match the actual traffic way better. nfacctd.conf: aggregate[netflow1m]: peer_src_ip,src_host,dst_host aggregate[netflow1h]: peer_src_ip,src_host,dst_host aggregate_filter[netflow1m]: net 10.0.0.0/8 or net 172.16.0.0/12 or net 192.168.0.0/16 aggregate_filter[netflow1h]: net 10.0.0.0/8 or net 172.16.0.0/12 or net 192.168.0.0/16 interface: eth0 nfacctd_ip: x.x.x.x nfacctd_port: 2055 nfacctd_time_new: true nfacctd_renormalize: true plugins: mysql[netflow1m], mysql[netflow1h] sql_optimize_clauses: true sql_num_hosts: true sql_locking_style: row sql_table[netflow1m]: netflow1m sql_table[netflow1h]: netflow1h sql_refresh_time[netflow1m]: 60 sql_refresh_time[netflow1h]: 300 sql_dont_try_update[netflow1m]: true sql_dont_try_update[netflow1h]: false sql_history[netflow1m]: 1m sql_history[netflow1h]: 1h sql_history_roundoff[netflow1m]: m sql_history_roundoff[netflow1h]: h sfacctd.conf: aggregate[sflow1m]: peer_src_ip,src_host,dst_host aggregate[sflow1h]: peer_src_ip,src_host,dst_host aggregate_filter[sflow1m]: net 10.0.0.0/8 or net 172.16.0.0/12 or net 192.168.0.0/16 aggregate_filter[sflow1h]: net 10.0.0.0/8 or net 172.16.0.0/12 or net 192.168.0.0/16 interface: eth0 sfacctd_ip: x.x.x.x sfacctd_port: 6343 sfacctd_renormalize: true plugins: mysql[sflow1m], mysql[sflow1h] sql_optimize_clauses: true sql_num_hosts: true sql_locking_style: row sql_table[sflow1m]: sflow1m sql_table[sflow1h]: sflow1h sql_refresh_time[sflow1m]: 60 sql_refresh_time[sflow1h]: 300 sql_dont_try_update[sflow1m]: true sql_dont_try_update[sflow1h]: false sql_history[sflow1m]: 1m sql_history[sflow1h]: 1h sql_history_roundoff[sflow1m]: m sql_history_roundoff[sflow1h]: h On the Fortigates I have configured: set active-flow-timeout 1 Thanks in advance /Thomas _______________________________________________ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists
