Hello guys,
I've installed nfdump (lastest version 1.6.5) and nfsen (version
1.3.6p1), without any trouble during the installation.
Here is some details of compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-nfprofile --with-rrdpath=/usr/bin
--prefix=/usr/local/nfsen
## --------- ##
## Platform. ##
## --------- ##
hostname = localhost.localdomain
uname -m = x86_64
uname -r = 2.6.18-274.12.1.el5
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #1 SMP Tue Nov 29 13:37:46 EST 2011
And here is my live profile status:
[root@localhost bin]# ./nfsen -l live
name live
group (nogroup)
tcreate Tue Jan 31 15:45:00 2012
tstart Tue Jan 31 15:50:00 2012
tend Tue Jan 31 16:00:00 2012
updated Tue Jan 31 16:00:00 2012
expire 0 hours

maxsize 0
type live
locked 0
status OK
version 130
channel peer1 sign: + colour: #0055FF order: 1 sourcelist:
peer1 Files: 3 Size: 18108416
That's look fine. Reiceving and generating graph.
I've created another one continous profile for testing, like that:
(It is a Individual Profile "WebServer" with a Channel named "Port80",
with in the filter rule below)
proto tcp and dst port 80
Here is the WebServer profile status:
[root@localhost bin]# ./nfsen -l WebServer
#
name WebServer
group (nogroup)
tcreate Tue Jan 31 16:00:04 2012
tstart Tue Jan 31 16:18:23 2012
tend Tue Jan 31 16:18:23 2012

maxsize 10.0 GB
type continuous
locked 0
status OK
version 130
channel Port80 sign: + colour: #33FF00 order: 1 sourcelist:
peer1 ERR Error reading channel stat information. Missing key
'first'
Files: 0 Size: 0
I've been always getting the "ERR Error reading channel stat
information. Missing key 'first'" message during the execution.
I tried to find out this issue on the mailing list and over the web,
but all articles suggest things that I've already done without any
success.
Here is my nfsen.conf

The nfsen user account was assigned in the apache group.
/etc/group:

Here is the BASEDIR: directory and permission structure :
[root@localhost nfsen]# l

drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Jan 31 11:21 ..

drwxrwxr-x 4 nfsen apache 4096 Jan 31 16:00 profiles-stat
drwxr-xr-x 3 nfsen apache 4096 Jan 31 15:48 share
The data stored in profile-data directory:
[root@localhost profiles-data]# du -h
4,0K ./WebServer/Port80
8,0K ./WebServer
48M ./live/peer1/2012/01/31
48M ./live/peer1/2012/01
48M ./live/peer1/2012
49M ./live/peer1
49M ./live
49M .
Question:
I don't know why but even with "real profile" in WebServer profile
configuration any data has been stored in the profile directory. The
data is only stored in live directory.
Results:
I have graphics being generated just in live profile.
When I try to manually process some flows, (according with no data
stored in the WebServer directory), the result is:
** nfdump -M /usr/local/nfsen/profiles-data/WebServer/Port80 -T -r
2012/01/31/nfcapd.201201311630 -n 10 -s ip/flows
nfdump filter:
any
stat() error
'/usr/local/nfsen/profiles-data/WebServer/Port80/2012/01/31/nfcapd.201201311630':
File not found!
I think there is no RRD nor dependencies envolved in this issue.
I'll be very thankful with any help. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely
Tiago Flores
