hsflowd 2.0.1 available

[Neil McKee]

hsflowd 2.0.1 has been released:  http://sflow.net/downloads.php

The Linux port has been reworked so that optional features are loaded from shared libraries.  This allows a single rpm/deb package to include all the features for ULOG, NFLOG, PCAP, DOCKER, KVM and OVS.   What you run then depends on what options you include in /etc/hsflowd.conf.   For example,  if your server is a KVM hypervisor you can just add "kvm {}" to /etc/hsflowd.conf and the kvm module will load at runtime -- provided it finds the necessary libvirt libraries.

That "OVS" feature replaces the sflowovsd daemon.  Just add "ovs {}" to /etc/hsflowd.conf and now hsflowd will sync sFlow config to the Open vSwitch itself.

If you are building from sources you can say what optional features to include.   For example,  if you are using KVM on Ubuntu with Open vSwitch (so you don't need hsflowd to do any packet-level monitoring) then you might compile like this:

make rpm FEATURES="KVM OVS"

The rpm no longer takes care of scheduling,  but systemd is supported.  See <a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sflow/host-sflow/v2.0.1/INSTALL.Linux">INSTALL.Linux</a> for details.

Please test!
