[netflow-tools] CentOS Logsocket Issues

[Nick Cappelletti]

Hey everyone, 

I hope someone can help me out here. I'm attempting to configure flowd to send the created flows to a socket on a CentOS 6.4 server, but I'm not having any success. 

I'm using version 0.9.1 and I've tested it on a Debian server, so I know the logsocket functionality works. 

Is there perhaps a package I need to install to get the logsocket functionality to work? 

Here is my configuration: 

#### 

pidfile "/var/run/flowd.pid" 
logsock "/var/log/flowdata.socket" 
logfile "/var/flowdata" 
listen on 0.0.0.0:9995 
listen on [::]:9995 
store ALL 
accept all 

#### 

Here is the output from when I run flowd in debug mode: 

#### 

read_config: entering 
child_get_config: entering 
drop_privs: dropping privs without chroot 
send_config: entering fd = 4 
send_config: done 
child_get_config: child config done 
recv_config: entering fd = 3 
recv_config: ready to receive config 
Listener for [0.0.0.0]:9995 fd = 3 
Adjusted socket receive buffer from 229376 to 524288 
Setting socket send buf to 1024 
Listener for [::]:9995 fd = 4

init_pfd: entering (num_fds = 0) 
init_pfd: done (num_fds = 3)

answer_open_log: entering 
client_open_socket: entering 
answer_open_socket: entering 
connect to logsock: No such file or directory 
receive_fd: recvmsg: expected received 1 got 0 

### 

Thanks for any help!
