NAME

flow-send - Transmit flow data with the NetFlow protocol.

SYNOPSIS

flow-send [ -h ] [ -d debug_level ] [ -m privacy_mask ] [ -s ] [ -x xmit_delay ] [ -V pdu_version ] localip/remoteip/port

DESCRIPTION

The flow-send utility is used to transmit flows in NetFlow format to a collector specified by localip/remoteip/port.

OPTIONS

-d debug_level
Enable debugging.
-h
Display help.
-s
Enable spoofing of source IP address.
-m privacy_mask
Apply privacy_mask to the source and destination IP address of flows. For example a privacy_mask of 255.255.255.0 would convert flows with source/destination IP addresses 10.1.1.1 and 10.2.2.2 to 10.1.1.0 and 10.2.2.0 respectively.
-V pdu_version
Use pdu_version format when transmitting.

-x xmit_delay
Configure a microsecond transmit delay between packets. This may be necessary in some configurations to prevent a transmit buffer overrun.

EXAMPLES

Transmit all flows in the directory /flows/krc4 to the collector at 10.0.0.1 listening on port 9500.

flow-cat /flows/krc4 | flow-send 0/10.0.0.1/9500

Generate a test pattern of version 7 flows and send them to a collector at 10.0.0.1 listening on port 9500.

flow-gen -V7 | flow-send 0/10.0.0.1/9500

BUGS

It is not currently possible to convert between the aggregated formats (8.x) and the non aggregated formats (1,5,6,7).
