Hello,

First of all thank you for some great software. I installed nfdump 1.5.2
and nfsen 1.2.4 about a week ago with little to no problems.  Ubunutu
server with LAMP option, I did have some Permission trouble but I have
worked that out (its not pretty but it works).  I am a network tech with
some basic *nix skills but I'm learning fast ever since i started this
project...

Some Questions..

1.  where do i find the Port tracker plugin install files/instructions.
Are there any other plugins available? 

2.  I have added a user defined output format in nfdump, is there a way
to get that format into nfsen (tried nfsen.rc start/stop)

3.  Is there some sort of auto report plugin via the notification
module, somehow tied to profiles?  I can always cron some nfdump
statements and pipe those into a mail program if there isint


A problem i'm having..

We run 2 Cisco chassis here a 6006 chassis running CatOS as the
switching engine and IOS for the routing engine.  We get great netflow
info from this chassis.  The IOS sends routed only info with IFindexes
corrosponding to Vlan interfaces and the CatOS send MLS inter vlan
switched info with IFindexes corosponding to Physical interfaces such as
port 4/5 or 3/1 ...ect  

The other Chassis is a 6509 running hybrid IOS which takes care of the
routing and switching.  We get good netflow info from this chassis as
well but the porblem comes with the IFindexes being reported in the
flows.  All info weather routed or switched is reported with IFindexes
corosponding to Vlan interfaces and 0 flows are reported with IFindexes
corsponding to physical interfaces.  I have tried Netflow bersion 5,7
and 9 on the router all with the same results.  I have also double
checked nfcapd captured flows with flow-tools captured flows and the
result is always the same.  Only Vlan interface IFindexes being reported
in the flows.

Im trying to duplicate our 6006 chasis setup onto our 6509 chasis but so
far no luck due to the IFindex problem.  I am attempting to find the
source of this IFindex problem.  Netflow data is more useful when you
know what physical interface it comes from.  Is the router simply not
sending the info (IE. sending only flows with VLAN interface IFindexe's)
but Im asking you guys first. or is the collecter not reading them
(IE.not fully functional with netflow version 9, somehow aggregating or
worse disregarding the flows not understanding the format).  Where would
i check for nfcapd logs of flows not understood or tossed out?  Has
anyone had this problem before?
I will open a TAC with Cisco and keep the list updated. 

Comments......
I don't know the plans for NFDUMP/NFSEN project but I think an SNMP read
engine would helpful, it would poll the router for IFindex info such as
ifname or ifalias.  

Great program.  I will be working on a NFDUMP/NFSEN server for the next
little while.  I'll keep you up to date if your interested.  If it works
out it would be a large deployemnt..300-500 profiles.

If your interested Here is my userdefined nfdump output format..None of
the default formats have IFindex info being reported...
"%ts %td %pr %in%sap->%dap%out %pkt %byt %pps %bps %bpp %fl"
 

Thanks for all your help
