Hi,

After I decoded the packet capture as cflow only, i m seeing that output
(no template found). Its there under Data section of Cisco NetFlow/IPFIX.

This is normal and expected.

IPFIX/Neflow9 exporters only send the templates periodically. They are
not sent with every packet.

You need to leave your capture running for long enough that it:

1. Sees a packet with IPFIX/NF9 templates
2. Sees data packets referencing those templates

On other (non-JunOS) platforms, I have been able to trigger a template
export by making and then un-making a config change to the netflow
export that will affect the templates e.g. remove then re-add src/dst AS
number.

Many/most platforms have configuration for the interval to re-send the
templates; I think it is:

edit set service flow-monitoring version-ipfix template X
set template-refresh-rate [packets N | seconds Y]
