Two configuration files exist that control the processing and display of netflow data. Both files are located in conf under the installation directory. The default installation directory is /opt/terapaths-monitoring.

The files are

Configuration File Description
flowscan.cf Base file processing and system configuration
JKFlow.xml Site specific subnet and processing configurations

flowscan.cf

This file specifies the location of the netflow files to be processed and some system wide configurations such as Syslog facilities and the poll frequency to find new netflow files.

Variable Description Default
FlowFileGlob The location and wildcard of netflow files /var/flows/flows/ft-v05.
ReportClasses Flowscan modules to use for netflow data processing JKFlow
WaitSeconds The poll time to wait for new files into that defined in FlowFileGlob 30
Verbose   1
SyslogFacility The local syslog facility to use for logs local2

# ReportClasses (REQUIRED)
# a comma-seperated list of FlowScan report classes, e.g.:
ReportClasses JKFlow

# WaitSeconds (OPTIONAL)
# This should be <= the "-s" value passed on the command-line to cflowd, e.g.:
WaitSeconds 30

# Verbose (OPTIONAL, non-zero = true)
