Central Server not starting up
I got a major problem... looks like my central server stopped working. I tried to re-start the service. No luck. I rebooted the server, same state - However if I look in my services it shows it's started. But the webclient tells me it's not. Any ideas how to fix this quickly?
Cisco WAAS reporting in NetFlow Analyzer - Feature Pack Available
Hi, We have had some inquiries on including Cisco WAAS reports in NetFlow Analyzer in the near past.

NetFlow Analyzer stops collectiong data
Hi, we have NetFlow Anlayzer in the Free Version (only 2 interfaces) running for over 1 year. Without any changes we ran into problems, that Analyzer stops collecting data and stops drawing graphes. A restart of the service, and sometimes a restart of mysql was needed, but only a few hours later, it stopped again. What I've done: -> Update to the latest version (8600) -> Update Buffers of mysql in startDB.sh as suggested (--key_buffer_size=720000000 --innodb_buffer_pool_size=848000000), 2 GB RAM
"Last Week Report" has greater data totals than the "Last Month Report"
Good Day My company requires a tool to analyze our bandwidth usage. I have tried out ManageEngine NetFlow Analyser and it seems to have most of the reporting capability we need. I have one problem that I need some advice on. I've been evaluating the software for about a week, and this morning I printed a "Last Week Report" on the destination list. Then I selected a "Last Month Report", and for some odd reason, the "Last month" report's data totals are LESS than that of the "Last Week" report. Regardless
Working with manual netflow files
Hi, I need to manually load the files in the Netflow Analyzer than sending the traffic from the routers. I am wondering what should be the right directory to put the files into. I think I can use the files collected from flow-tools collector? Regards, Osama
Reporting mismatch
Hi there... Firstly, i'm new here and i want to salute the community , but... What is the difference (algorithm) between the IN/OUT Traffic counters from the <Interface View> Tab and the "Avg" counters from the <Speed-Graph> screen (see the following pictures). In my understanding they should be the average per selected interval, but they aren't the same (some times they are pretty close). Even for one day report there are noticeable differences. The Speed-Graph screen seems more accurate to me (the

Only inbound traffic showing
I'm using pfSense which only shows one interface but includes in- and outbound information for that interface. According to your FAQ I should add another interface which then would report its incoming traffic. But in my case that's not possible. Is there any workaround for that issue?
Is the 95 percentile bandwidth report accurate if it does not take into consideration the traffic is being tagged and manipulated with COS?

Error: Receiving Non V5 / Non V7 packets from the following devices:
Hi I've installed for testing NFA 8.6. There is currently one Cisco 6500 Catalyst which exports netflow in the version 7. NFA shows the interfaces and also the traffic (but not the correct ammount), but I get the error message Receiving Non V5 / Non V7 packets from the following devices:. For testing I hardconfigured the 6500 to netflow V5 and pushed the clear button in NFA. That removed the error message. Later I switched it back to V7 and I got the error again.

Central server stops getting data from collector
I seem to have found a issue that happens on Monday mornings where the collector stops sending data to the central server. The services are running, When I picked this up last week I thought it was a fluke. But since it happened again this morning I don't think it's a fluke anymore. I have to restart the collector and run the "run.bat file" manually to get it going. The server does not restart automatically even though it's set like that in the services. I also noticed the service does not start

incorrect traffic direction in IP group
let say 10.1.1.1 send traffic to 10.2.2.2 via interface A in and then interface B out. And assume the IP group's configuration is that IP:10.1.1.1 and Interface:A. The traffic flow is revered to show on the conversation tab of IP group like IN src 10.2.2.2 dst 10.1.1.1, OUT src 10.1.1.1 dst 10.2.2.2. Is it a bug?

Interface Index changed - options?
I have added interface index persistence to our cisco routers now: snmp-server ifindex persist ...but before this was done we added/replaced some interface cards to the router and the interface index/IDs changed. We now show 5 interfaces on the router when only 3 are used and actively sending netflow data. How can I either: 1. Remove an interface from NetFlow and let it rediscover OR 2. Merge the data from an old old interface with the new one OR 3. Clear the data from the old interface so it doesn't

Not showing all routers in the 'Set SNMP' menu
Hello We have Netflow Analyser 8 Professional running and we have SNMP access to all our routers. When I try to get Netflow to retrieve the interface descirptions via the ' Set SNMP' option, it doesn't show all the routers in the list. However it does know about all the routers as they all show up in the All devices list but some of them without the interface desciptions. I have tried to run the SNMP retrieve for all routers but this doesn't work either. We have checked that the routers
How to use SNMPv3 to query for device/interface names?
Hi, I installed Netflow Analyzer (trial version) and am evaluating it for enterprise deployment. I am testing on a Cisco 3845, with x2 gigabit physical interfaces and one ipsec logical tunnel interface (Tunnel1) and one loopback interface (Loopback1). I configured netflow on the router successfully using Loopback1 as the source. Netflow Analyzer is receving the flows and displaying results. However, when i configured the router for netflow, I hadn't yet configured SNMP credentials in Netflow Analyzer,

Netflow real time / live data
We are evaluating Netflow Analyzer. I am trying to find out if the traffic I am looking at under All Devices -> Interface View is live or real time. Or is it delayed by an hour. Because whenever I look at the time range, the end is always and hour form the current time. This also happens when we drill down into the traffic details. We need to be able to view the traffic as close to real time as possible so that we can rectify any immediate issues. Thanks.
