Thanks. I created my a 'saved' folder in my /var/netflow/ft directory and I now have my raw flow files.
Trying to understand how to use the flow-tools utilities - flow-report, flow-stat, flow-capture etc to generate meaningful reports. I'll appreciate some help with useful examples that are critical to the operations of an ISP. What format are the raw netflow files stored in ? Also, can I please get some help (directions on what to consider and how to go about it) on how I can export this information to my Billing Server running on MSSQL 2000 ?
