Hey Steve,

Did you install the pfflowd package on your pfSense box? Also are you
trying to send the data to the inside of your network or out? To see
what's listening on the router's ports go to Diagnostics -> Command and
type "sockstat -4l" for the listening ports. The -4 shows ipv4 protocols
and -l means only show listening sockets.

I personally use netflow on our client's routers and have them report back
to one of our freebsd servers running and use cFlow to analyze the data.

. Good look, btw bandwidthd and ntop are probably the easiest places to
start.

Subject: [pfSense Support] Anyone using a NetFlow to monitor bandwidth?

 

Hi!

 

I've just downloaded a trial version of NetFlow Analyzer from ManageEngine
(http://manageengine.adventnet.com/products/netflow/index.html).  

 

I gather our pfSense install is capable of sending NetFlow data to tools
such as NetFlow Analyzer but as it stands I can't see any data coming in
(to Analyzer).   Do I need to install a package on our pfSense 1.2 RC3
install?  Or indeed is there somewhere I can head inside pfSense to see
which port NetFlow is configured to use etc?

 

Alternatively do people have alternative suggestions as to how I can
monitor traffic in/out of a range of IPs?

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
