Hello,

I have a question about hsflowd.  Not sure is it allow me to post here.  If not, please let me know and delete those message.

Question which I have now is PRTG (sflow collector) cannot accept the Hsflowd format.  I have tried to adjust the configuration but still no luck.

 Using sflowtools to convert sflow packet and sent to PRTG support.  They say I should check

sampleType COUNTERSSAMPLE

I have uploaded the capture for here for reference and following is hsflowd.conf.


sflow {
      polling = 30
      sampling.1G = 1000
      sampling.10G = 10000
      sampling = 512
      agentIP=192.168.10.205
      collector {
        ip = 192.168.10.4
        udpport = 6373
        }
}

Could you please assistant to check and how should fix it?

Thanks in advance.

PRTG is probably expecting packet sampled. You need to enable one the
the traffic monitoring methods (pcap, ovs, netfilter/nflog, etc.).

http://www.sflow.net/host-sflow-linux-config.php

The simplest method is to use the pcap module, e.g. add the following
line to your config to monitor traffic in/out eth0:

pcap { dev=eth0 }

Hello Peter,

Thanks for still no luck.

Still could not capture and still find from capture

'sampleType COUNTERSSAMPLE'

I could see libpcap0.8 is already installed.  Any further idea?

Thanks!
