<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm running Pfflowd on PFsense 2.0 RC3
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm using PRTG to collect the flow data. I tried
softflowd and it does not report correctly , it seems to count only a fraction
of the actual usage using netflow V 9. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Pfflowd does seem to so far work correctly with
PRTG except for the flow time outs. I get several flow time out errors
concerning flows that have an expired time stamp. Below is the config from the
pfflowd.sh file on my system. I have searched high and low for the man page
that explains what options can be included at startup and found nothing.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I can assume -n is the IP and port that's a gimme
,and -s is where the data is sent from. -S any must be the direction of
the flows to count and send. and V 9 is netflow version. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What can I add to this file to set the flow
timeout to 5 minutes?</FONT></DIV>
