I am using nProbe to send netflow V5 to another machine for processing.
Specifically, I want to import this data into Mysql.  I read that
flow-tools would come in handy.  I have successfully sent the netflow
stream from nProbe on the router to flow-capture on the DB server,
which exports the flow to files rotated every 15 minutes.

After the first rotation, I ran flow-print on the completed dump, which
gave me valid, useful data.  However, I get an error when running the
file through the readFlowdump.pl script included in the nProbe package
I purchased:

        Argument "M-O^P^A^C" isn't numeric in read at
        /usr/local/src/nProbe/readFlowDump.pl line 194.

Sounds like readFlowDump.pl is expecting a different format.  Here are
the command lines I am using through this entire process:

        router: ./nprobe -n 10.1.1.11:2055 -i eth0

        server: ./flow-capture -p /var/run/netflow/flow-capture.pid \
                -w /home/netflow/flow-capture -V 5 0/0/2055

        server: cp ft-v05.2004-12-03.091501-0500 temp

        server: ./readFlowDump.pl temp

                Argument "M-O^P^A^C" isn't numeric in read at
                /usr/local/src/nProbe/readFlowDump.pl line 194.

So while the error _sounds_ like a protocol version discrepancy, I
have made certain the versions are all the same throughout this
process.

Any ideas to help me understand how to use these tools are greatly
appreciated.

--thanks!
