Collect cflowd Records

Traffic flows can be exported in cflowd version 5 and 8 formats for active flow monitoring. The default export format for cflowd records is version 5. To change the export format to cflowd version 8, include the version 8 statement either at the [edit forwarding-options accounting name output cflowd cflowd-server-address] or the [edit forwarding-options sampling output cflowd cflowd-server-address] hierarchy level. For more information on cflowd record formats, see cflowd Output Formats.

To capture cflowd data generated by the Monitoring Services PIC or Adaptive Services PIC and export it to a cflowd server, you can use one of the following two active flow monitoring methods:

• Collect cflowd Records with a Sampling Group
• Collect cflowd Records with an Accounting Group
• Option: Configure an Aggregate Export Timer
