OK. Contrib check and build passes.
Everything runs the way it should. My question is on the data.
The src and dest addresses are just the numbers. They are supposed to be
ip addresses.
I think that formatting them as IP addresses rather than just as numbers
would be more usable.
Is there something I'm missing? I don't have an example of something else
that shows net flow data.
Are there any other fields that are output 'raw' that could be formatted?
> NetFlow Processors

> Key: NIFI-5327
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5327
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: Prashanth Venkatesan
> Assignee: Prashanth Venkatesan
> Priority: Major
>
> As network traffic data scopes for the big data use case, would like NiFi to
> have processors to support parsing of those protocols.
> Netflow is a protocol introduced by Cisco that provides the ability to
> collect IP network traffic as it enters or exits an interface and is
> described in detail in here:
> [https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/net_mgmt/netflow_collection_engine/3-6/user/guide/format.html]
>
> Currently, I have created the following processor:
> *ParseNetflowv5*: Parses the ingress netflowv5 bytes and ingest as either
> NiFi flowfile attributes or as a JSON content. This also sends
> one-time-template.
>
> Further ahead, we can add many processor specific to network protocols in
> this nar bundle.
> I will create a pull request.
