hsflowd Polling Interval

[Thomas Shen]

Hi,

I am using 2.0.8-1 and I have configured counter polling interval to be x seconds. The collector receives the export samples every 2x seconds. I thought this was supposed to be every x seconds. I've verified hsflowd is receiving x in the configuration and was unable to find any documentation that the interval is doubled. Is this a bug or an undocumented feature? Apologies if I've missed the documentation.

Thanks,

Thomas

I checked with the latest version (2.0.11) on Linux and it does seem to be a little off,  but not as much as a factor of 2 (when I set "polling" to 8 seconds I'm getting samples every 9 or 10 seconds,  but when I set it to 1 then I get samples every second).   If you try 2.0.11 then please let me know what you see.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for checking. I tried the latest and it is much better. Logs below. First two packets are for 2.0.8-1 and shows 19.8 second interval. Rest are for 2.0.11 and shows around 12 second interval. Similar improvement for 20 second interval. At least it has mostly been fixed.

Thanks,

Thomas
