Netflow Analyzer y Riberved Steelhead
Hi. I've got some riverbed steelheads and I'm testing NetFlow Analyzer with them. I've configured the Flow exports pointing to the NFA server and it works, well, sort of. I've got five appliances (different models but same firmware, 6.0.2) and three appear on the dashboard but the other two doesn't, it's like they aren't sending any information to the NFA. I've checked and re-done the configuration, it's the same as the working ones, I've addredd additional ports to the NFA and reconfigure the flows

migrating devices from one device group to another
Hi, I changed one device's export address from one remote collector to a "local" collector, which is in same LAN as Central Server. Due to poor link between remote collector and Central Server, there was no details in traffic inspection, there is only one chunk - unaccounted. By exporting flows to the "local" collector i have all the data i need, it's just that now i want to delete the "old" device from the remote device group, and add the "new" device to it, even though it's the same device, it

NetFlow Analyzer Enterprise Edition Adds Billing
Happy to announce that "Billing / chargeback" has been added to Enterprise Edition list of Add-ons, with already existing CBQoS & NBAR reporting and Failover. We have also fine tuned and increased the performance, in this release. Billing / chargeback will be useful for both enterprises and ISPs alike.

Use Netflow Analyser to trend and report on usage of an ISP data cap?
I am a new user of Netflow Analyser Professional, and am looking for a way to report, or display the monthly use of an ISP data cap (perhaps as a line graph over the month), preferably with an alert indicating a higher rate of use than expected at any point in the month. Is this possible?
6509 NBar not supported
I just upgraded to Netflow Analyzer 8 (fresh install). It correctly found all my devices and used SNMP to identify them but I'm having some issues enabling NBAR. NBAR support is correctly identified on most of my NBAR capable switches and I can use the software to enable NBAR on them. I am having problems with several Cisco 6509 Switches with Sup720 and Sup720-10GE supervisors. The software says that NBAR is not available and not configured, even when I manually configure it.

Problems with Netflow Graffics

Custom billing periods
Instead of being limited to Monthly or quarterly or on-demand billing how about, billing plans for a date range? i.e. for the duration of an event at a convention centre or something. If it say runs for two weeks, create a billing schedule for that period.

beginner questions
Hi Everyone, I am new at this and I need some help, I am the new system admin for a Internet company Most of our bandwidth is use and we don't really know why. After researching the internet looks like Netflow technology would be a good way to know where my bandwidth is going. I just want to know what do i have to do to be able to use this technology. Do I need some kind of hardware? Can I just use the free tool or do I have to pay? Can I install Netflow analyser anywhere on the network? Do I need
Custom SQL Query
I apologize if this is somewhere in the forum. I searched but didn’t get anything back that answered my question. Each month I manually have to enter data into a spreadsheet based on the 95% percentile for in and out traffic. Now that I have 50 or so IP groups and multiple sites this is taking me quite some time to do. The consolidated report doesn’t display that nor is there a CSV file for the scheduled report for me to manually calculate the 95%. This means I’ll need to query the data directly
Netflow support for snmpv3
When will Netflow support snmpv3? Thanks,

Custom Selection issues
If I try to run a report with a custom date selection, there are no points to graph for the past 2 1/2 days which results in an empty graph and no data. Please assist me in correcting this problem. I am running NFA 6.1 (Build 6100). See attached screenshot...
Destination IP only showing our Gateway IP....
Once and awhile Netflow Analyzer will switch to not showing our internal user IP's. Usually a reinstall has been the quick fix. This time it hasn't though. So now I only see our gateway/public IP for all the different destinations. What needs to be changed to get this working? Thanks Paul
Netflow Analyzer showing traffic from ASA5510 in wrong direction
I am currently running the free edition of Netflow Analyzer 7 (Build 7600) and I have noticed for a while that the direction of traffic shown in Netflow is opposite of what ASDM is telling me. For example, if the ASDM is showing we are using 10Mbps downstream on the outside interface Netflow Analyzer says we are using 10Mbps upstream on that interface (which is wrong). Is there a setting I can look at to adjust this inside of Netflow Analyzer or do I need to examine the Netflow export settings
How to NOT run the client automatically on startup...?
When NetFlow Analyzer service starts up, it automatically pops up an IE window and shows a client login screen. Firstly, I have no need for this. So how do I stop it? Do I edit C:Program FilesAdventNetMENetFlow instartClient.bat and comment (REM) out the following line: rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler %NF_URL% Second, even if I did want it to start... it's starting IE, which is not my default browser. How would I make it start Firefox, which is my default browser? Thanks, Pete :)
Unable to resolve IP addresses using DNS
Despite my Windows XPsp3 machine able to resolve IP addresses using nslookup xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in a cmd window, Netflow Analyzer does not resolve IP addresses. Unless you use the custom DNS entry feature. In any case, clicking "Resolve DNS", despite there only being 10 IP addresses listed on screen, takes over a minute to return a result. I have temporarily turned off the firewall/defense program and tried, but it still doesn't resolve. Any ideas? I'm using v7.5 build 7600 on Windows XPsp3 with Comodo

Does not support the "email alert when the free disk space goes below the user defined value"
Date format is all over the place
In one case, the way NFA displays dates even ignores the regional date settings of the computer. Looking around the client GUI, here are some examples of the ways dates are displayed: Wed, 14 Apr '10 (User Management page) 2010-04-14 (IP Group > Traffic page) Apr-14-10 (IP Group > Traffic page > Show Data Points) 04/14/10 (Billing page - note that this is mm/dd/yy, which ignores my regional date format of dd/mm/yy) That's 4 different formats. Any chance of cleaning this up, and allowing a user to
Massive memory leak(?) on startup
Immediately after booting, with NetFlow service disabled, my winXPsp3 machine normally uses 390MB. After enabling the NetFlow service, and rebooting, the machine is using 1.35Gig! That's almost 1GB ram used, for what is essentially a program to listen to datastreams and log them into a database!!!! When I look at Processes running, there are two: mysqld-nt.exe = 125MB jave.exe = 115MB Even just looking at these figures, I can't believe how much memory these guys are using, for what should be a relative

Downloaded 7801.exe Confirmed we're running v7600 Shutdown the Netflow service copied both data and mySql folders to another location (overlooked renaming the log folder) ran the update manager and selected 7801 Update completed without problems restarted Netflow service logged into netflow and appeared to be operating normally w/the ASAM Added some administrator level

Refresh: Every 1Minute - Can I change this default setting to Never?
Hi, I have a distributed user base averaging between 10 - 15 operators. If the pull up a display for a interface or a dashboard or most other areas of Netflow EE the default is to refresh every 1Minute. I imagine this uses up extra CPU and Memory effort to refresh this. (our central server averages 9000 - 11000 flows/sec) Can I change the default setting to Never for all pages so that the operator must manually override it if they want it to refresh? Thanks -mick
