It is using the Hardware setting, which is 1:1024, even if it was using the 
1:20000 it is not logging any packets in nfsen.  Port is not mentioned because 
it is the default of 6343.  I have already confirmed it is sending and being 
received by both a pcap and strace on the sfcapd process.

One in 20,000 packets isn’t much IMO. I usually set for 1024 or even 512. Also 
I don’t see the destination port configured, though is it correct by default? 
It must match what the collector expects

Can you run a TCPDUMP session to verify the switch is sending packets?

Can you show your switch config for netflow including sampling/ port/etc?

I have nfsen working with netflow, and am attempting to add a couple of arista 
DCS-7280SR2K-48C6-M-R switches running EOS 4.25.4M that do hardware accelerated 
sflow. I have added them to the %sources in the nfsen.conf

'switch1' => { 'port' => '6343', 'IP' => '10.10.38.8', 'type' => 'sflow', 'col' 
=> '#FF0099', 'optarg' => ' -T all ' },
'switch2' => { 'port' => '6343', 'IP' => '10.10.8.67', 'type' => 'sflow', 'col' 
=> '#FF0066', 'optarg' => ' -T all ' },

I then run "nfsen reconfig" successfully.

I restart nfsen, the new hosts show up and I have files being created in the 
profiles-data directory with a length of 276B. I do not have any firewall 
running and I can confirm I can see the sflow v5 data coming from the switch 
using tshark. I can also see that the sfcapd process is listening:

[root@nfsen ~]# netstat -antup | grep 6343
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6343 0.0.0.0:* 122944/sfcapd

I can confirm the process is receiving the packets by running strace -p 122944, 
which shows a recvfrom() for each packet. When it rotates the files every 5 
min, I see it stat, rename, open and write no problem. It just doesn't seem to 
write anything other than the default empty file info.

If I run the sfcaptd process in the console with -E it just seems to sit there

The file size doesn't change from 276B, all of the files in the 
profiles-data/live/switch1/2021/08/17/ folders are 276B for the hosts using 
sflow. Netflow works fine. Does anyone have any idea why it is not processing 
the sflow data that is being received?
