The netflow accounting system based on JKFlow is a dynamic and XML-configurable reporting tool for network traffic. This page describes a logic flow of the program, including the behaviour of the code contained in flowscan and JKFlow.pm as well as how the configuration in JKFlow.xml and flowscan.cf affects this behaviour.
Flowscan
This is the main executable file. All other modules and dependent sub-routines are called from within this file. Flowscan assumes that flow-files containing raw flow information are being constantly generated in a folder on the system. The location of this folder is specified in the flowscan.cf by the identifier FlowFileGlob. Generally flow-files are named so that their names indicate a timestamp for when that file was generated. In the current configuration flow-files are being generated every minute.
