Hi all,

I'm having a few issues with understanding how to install nfsen.

This installation read me says:
Make sure you have nfdump configured with option --enable-nfprofile

Where do I find instructions to tell me how to do that? (...or 'how do I 
do that?')


# The Profiles directory, where all netflow data is stored
$PROFILEDATADIR="${BASEDIR}/profiles-data";


I already have nfcapd running and am dropping the flow data in 
/var/cache/nfdump so am I meant to set the above to /var/cache/nfdump ?


# Netflow sources
# Define an ident string, port and colour per netflow source

...

%sources = (
'upstream1' => { 'port' => '9995', 'col' => '#0000ff', 'type' => 
'netflow' },
'peer1' => { 'port' => '9996', 'IP' => '172.16.17.18' },
'peer2' => { 'port' => '9996', 'IP' => '172.16.17.19' },
);


Ok, now I'm just confused sorry...

Is nfsen installation going to be taking over control of nfcapd, setting 
up the process and I just make my configurations in the nfsen.conf file?


So far I have nfcapd running in a screen session (I couldn't figure how 
to make is start at start up) and I've had a good play with nfdump to 
get some stats out, but clearly I'm not following how all these bits are 
mean to hang together at a conceptual level.

I've read over haag-peter-papers.pdf.

I'm using the nfdump version in the debian 6 repo and nfsen 1.3.5 from 
the web site.
