Hi Peter
the problem is that your nProbe is receiving templates from multiple routers 
and they exceed the number of 256. You should see a log like

13/Nov/2020 09:43:22 [collect.c:1624] Added new flow template definition 
[id=257][flow_version=9][netflow_device=127.0.0.1:50509][observation_domain_id=115][total=1]
13/Nov/2020 09:43:22 [collect.c:1624] Added new flow template definition 
[id=258][flow_version=9][netflow_device=127.0.0.1:50509][observation_domain_id=115][total=2]
13/Nov/2020 09:43:22 [collect.c:1624] Added new flow template definition 
[id=259][flow_version=9][netflow_device=127.0.0.1:50509][observation_domain_id=115][total=3]
13/Nov/2020 09:43:22 [collect.c:1624] Added new flow template definition 
[id=260][flow_version=9][netflow_device=127.0.0.1:50509][observation_domain_id=115][total=4]
13/Nov/2020 09:43:22 [collect.c:1624] Added new flow template definition 
[id=261][flow_version=9][netflow_device=127.0.0.1:50509][observation_domain_id=115][total=5]
13/Nov/2020 09:43:22 [collect.c:1624] Added new flow template definition 
[id=262][flow_version=9][netflow_device=127.0.0.1:50509][observation_domain_id=115][total=6]
13/Nov/2020 09:43:22 [collect.c:1624] Added new flow template definition 
[id=263][flow_version=9][netflow_device=127.0.0.1:50509][observation_domain_id=115][total=7]

to show the templates defined.

We have introduced new checks as in some installations people was sending too 
many templates and nProbe did not operate properly,  So it might be this has 
broken something on your case.

I would appreciate if you can contact me directly and provide me information 
for troubleshooting this issue.

Thanks Luca
