Just for the archives -
The default template timeout in XR is 1800 seconds. I guess this is too long
for nfSen before it gives up and assumes that the exporter is not sampling?
Dropping this timeout to 30 seconds started to produce template data:
!
flow exporter-map fem
version v9
template timeout 30
!
This seems to reflect in nfdump -E

A couple of questions gleaned from this output -
1. What are the sequence failures indicative of?
2. Why does one of my routers have two SysIDs? It is configured identically
to the other two.
