Hi Jens,
I've not worked with YAF, but I've done a similar set up as follow to get reliable full flows (as I too am not a fan sampled flows):

passive tap (span will work too) => telemetry probe

* On the probe, I usually run a linux distro of choice (for me, it's a flavor of debian stripped of systemd as I've seen issues out of the box and don't want to spend too much time doing RCA); not trying to reignite religious war of initd vs systemd at all here

* softlowd on interface tied to tap or span, converts this to v9_nf / ipfix / sflow

* send this off to nfsen/nfdump

tradeoff with this method, is that source interface of the flows are not embedded due to tap or span methodology but one can write some programming glue to tied this back to upstream or downstream layer3 routers if need be.

I know you asked specifically about YAF, but how you'd use YAF may be similar here and wanted to provide alternative perspective to help out. Good luck.

Regards,
Ge Moua

Hi,

our Nexus 7000 now have M3 cards for 40 Gbit/s
and so the Nexus now runs in sampled mode.

That's nothing we want here.

At the moment I am experimenting with "yaf"

        https://tools.netsa.cert.org/yaf/index.html

to get full flows again.

Q:
has anyxone worked with that?
any experiences how to setup?

Best regards, Jens
