I've had a collection and analysis sytem based on flow-tools for years now,
but for the six months or so, I've been using ft2nfdump and nfdump for
analysis of the collected flow data and I'm completely sold.  I want to
switch over to nfcapd a skip the ft2nfdump step and then try Nfsen out.

Currently, I'm getting Netflow data from one router.  It's sending the data
to two systems.  The older system is an old Solaris box running
flow-capture.  The newer system is RHEL5 where I'm trying to run nfcapd.  I
can't get the nfcapd service to collect packets.  It's the same flow as the
flow-capture system sees and I've captured the incoming Netflow data from
the router on both systems and verified that the packets match.  Nfcapd
starts, but doesn't appear to see anything.


The system has two network interfaces, eth0 and eth1.  Eth0 is on the subnet
with the router.  Eth1 is behind a NAT looking at somethine else.
The IP on eth0 is (munged) router.subnet.aaa.bbb.  The router is directing
netflow data to port 9990 (confirmed using tcpdump).

I'm nfcapd with the command:

nfcapd -z -b router.subnet.aaa.bbb -p 9990 -l /var/NetFlow -I any -S 2  -w
-e -P /var/NetFlow/nfcapd.pid  -D


The pid file is created and the default subdirectory structure appears under
/var/NetFlow, but nothing is entered.


Am I submitting the command incorrectly?

Thank you,

- Andy Johnston
