Sure, I'm running nfdump in a loop like this:
while :
do
nfdump -N6q -n 0 -R /path/to/flows/ -A proto,dstport \
> /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 1
done
3 instances of the above script and a large volume of netflows will do
the trick. I have set up a server for testing -- I'm happy to apply
kernel patches, provide ddb traces, etc. Please let me know how I can
help.
Thanks,
