......damn
I did a apt-get install flowscan
...and the suggested and recommended stuff
and it works
well....I am able to use the flow-capture utility from the flow-tools package
that gets automatically installed with flowscan.
The funny thing is that every single reference, installation manual, etc that I
can find on google that pertains to flowscan and flow-tools states that cflowd
is used to collect the NetFlow data....however I am collecting data and it is
wonderful data too but for the life of me I can't find a cflowd* anywhere
except as a gzipped example file of how its supposed to be configured.
I am making an assumption that cflowd is no longer developed and that the code
or similar code has been infused into the flow-tools package. The thing that
sucks is that I can't find any reference to this being the case.
I basically have a system that is collecting data and the software claims to
need the cflowd but it ain't there.
That being said I am on cloud nine because I am actually collecting NetFlow v5
data and its beautful.
Just thought I would update those of you who responded to my rants.
Thanks,
cleve
