All,

 

I am a network engineer recently tasked with calculating strategic growth metrics utilizing data collected from netflow exports. We are currently using flow-tools as our default netflow v5 collector. I need to programmatically parse the files flow-tools generates and run my calculations on the flow records stored within them (the stock toolset does most of what I need but not quite everything). I can do this with the exports available through flow-export (ASCII, cflowd, etc) but most of these formats produce files much larger than I would like (I will have to send the netflow data across many, many WAN links for central processing). I have searched high and low for some kind of documentation describing the format of the files flow-tools creates. Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

Brandt Wright
