It's just as I described, that's how it works. It doesn't set flags
because there aren't specific flags on an entire TCP session. The
flags portion of Netflow is for different circumstances where you're
exporting on a per-packet basis where flags actually can be
determined, anything that exports the entire session isn't going to
set flags.
