flow monitor

To create a Flexible NetFlow flow monitor, or to modify an existing Flexible NetFlow flow monitor, and enter Flexible NetFlow flow monitor configuration mode, use the flow monitor command. To remove a Flexible NetFlow flow monitor, use the no form of this command.

flow monitor monitor-name

no flow monitor monitor-name

Syntax Description

Defaults

Flow monitors are not present in the configuration until you create them.

Command Modes

Global Configuration (config)

network-admin

Command History

Usage Guidelines

Flow monitors are the Flexible NetFlow component that is applied to interfaces to perform network traffic monitoring. Flow monitors consist of a record that you add to the flow monitor after you create the flow monitor, and a cache that is automatically created at the time the flow monitor is applied to the first interface. Flow data is collected from the network traffic during the monitoring process based on the key and non-key fields in the record which is configured for the flow monitor and stored in the flow monitor cache.

Once you enter the flow monitor configuration mode, the prompt changes to the following:

n1000v(config-flow-monitor)#

Within the flow monitor configuration mode, the following keywords and arguments are available to configure the flow monitor:

•cache—Specifies the cache size, from 256 to 16384 entries.

•description description—Provides a description for this flow monitor; maximum of 63 characters.

•exit—Exits from the current configuration mode.

•exporter name—Specifies the name of an exporter to export records.

•no—Negates a command or sets its defaults.

•record {record-name | netflow ipv4 collection-type | netflow-original}—Specifies a flow record to use as follows:

–record-name—Name of a record.

–netflow ipv4 collection-type—Specifies the traditional IPv4 NetFlow collection schemes as follows:

original-input—Specifies the traditional IPv4 input NetFlow.

original-output—Specifies the traditional IPv4 output NetFlow

protocol-port—Specifies the protocol and ports aggregation scheme.

–netflow-original—Specifies the traditional IPv4 input NetFlow with origin autonomous systems.

•timeout {active | inactive}—Specifies a flow timeout period as follows:

–active—Specifies an active or long timeout in the range of 60 to 4092 seconds.

–inactive—Specifies an inactive or normal timeout in the range of 15 to 4092 seconds.

The netflow-original and original-input keywords are the same and are equivalent to the following commands:

•match ipv4 source address

•match ipv4 destination address

•match ip tos

•match ip protocol

•match transport source-port

•match transport destination-port

•match interface input

•collect counter bytes

•collect counter packet

•collect timestamp sys-uptime first

•collect timestamp sys-uptime last

•collect interface output

•collect transport tcp flags

The original-output keywords are the same as original-input keywords except for the following:

•match interface output (instead of match interface input)

•collect interface input (instead of collect interface output)

Examples

The following examples creates and configures a flow monitor named FLOW-MONITOR-1:

n1000v(config)# flow monitor FLOW-MONITOR-1

n1000v(config-flow-monitor)# description monitor location las vegas, NV

n1000v(config-flow-monitor)# exporter exporter-name1

n1000v(config-flow-monitor)# record test-record

n1000v(config-flow-monitor)# netflow ipv4 original-input

Related Commands

flow record

To create a Flexible NetFlow flow record, or to modify an existing Flexible NetFlow flow record, and enter Flexible NetFlow flow record configuration mode, use the flow record command. To remove a Flexible NetFlow flow record, use the no form of this command.

flow record record-name

no flow record record-name

Syntax Description

Defaults

Flow records are not present in the configuration until you create them.

Command Modes

Global Configuration (config)

network-admin

Command History

Usage Guidelines

Flexible NetFlow uses key and non-key fields just as original NetFlow does to create and populate flows in a cache. In Flexible NetFlow a combination of key and non-key fields is called a record. Original NetFlow and Flexible NetFlow both use the values in key fields in IP datagrams, such as the IP source or destination address and the source or destination transport protocol port, as the criteria for determining when a new flow must be created in the cache while network traffic is being monitored. A flow is defined as a stream of packets between a given source and a given destination. New flows are created whenever NetFlow analyzes a packet that has a unique value in one of the key fields.

Once you enter the flow record configuration mode, the prompt changes to the following:

n1000v(config-flow-record)#

Within the flow record configuration mode, the following keywords and arguments are available to configure the flow record:

•collect—Specifies a non-key field. See the collect command for additional information.

•description description—Provides a description for this flow record; maximum of 63 characters.

•exit—Exits from the current configuration mode.

•match—Specifies a key field. See the match command for additional information.

•no—Negates a command or sets its defaults.

Cisco NX-OS enables the following match fields by default when you create a flow record:

•match interface input

•match interface output

•match flow direction

Examples

The following example creates a flow record named FLOW-RECORD-1, and enters Flexible NetFlow flow record configuration mode:

n1000v(config)# flow record FLOW-RECORD-1

n1000v(config-flow-record)#
