Configuring Traffic Sampling Output

You configure traffic sampling results to a file in the /var/tmp directory. To collect the sampled packets in a file, include the file statement at the [edit forwarding-options sampling output] hierarchy level:



[edit forwarding-options sampling output]

file {
disable;

filename filename;

files number;
size bytes;
(stamp | no-stamp);
(world-readable | no-world-readable);
}

To configure the period of time before an active flow is exported, include the flow-active-timeout statement at the [edit forwarding-options sampling output] hierarchy level:



[edit forwarding-options sampling output]
flow-active-timeout seconds;

To configure the period of time before a flow is considered inactive, include the flow-inactive-timeout statement at the [edit forwarding-options sampling output] hierarchy level:



[edit forwarding-options sampling output]
flow-inactive-timeout seconds;

To configure the interface, include the interface statement at the [edit forwarding-options sampling output] hierarchy level:



[edit forwarding-options sampling output]
interface [ interface-names ] {
engine-id number;
engine-type number;
source-address address;
}

To configure the interval before exporting an active flow, include the flow-active-timeout statement. To configure the interval before a flow is considered inactive, include the flow-inactive-timeout statement. To configure the interface that sends out monitored information, include the interface statement.

Note: This feature is not supported with the version 9 template format. You must send traffic flows collected using version 9 to a server. For more information see Configuring Active Flow Monitoring Using Version 9.
