To configure a Linux server to send NetFlow data to Nagios Network Analyzer, you can follow these steps:
Install a NetFlow exporter on the Linux server. There are a few different NetFlow exporters available, such as fprobe and nfdump.
Configure the NetFlow exporter to send data to Nagios Network Analyzer. This will typically involve specifying the IP address and port of Nagios Network Analyzer.
Start the NetFlow exporter.
Configure Nagios Network Analyzer to receive NetFlow data. This will involve creating a new data source and specifying the IP address and port of the NetFlow exporter.
Here is an example of how to configure fprobe to send NetFlow data to Nagios Network Analyzer:
/usr/local/sbin/fprobe -i eth0 192.168.1.100:12345
This will start fprobe to send NetFlow data from the Ethernet interface eth0 to Nagios Network Analyzer at IP address 192.168.1.100 and port 12345.
Here is an example of how to create a new data source in Nagios Network Analyzer to receive NetFlow data from fprobe:
Go to Configuration > Data Sources.
Click on the Add button.
Select NetFlow as the data source type.
Enter a name for the data source.
Enter the IP address and port of the NetFlow exporter.
Click on the Save button.
Once you have configured the NetFlow exporter and Nagios Network Analyzer, you should
echat start receiving NetFlow data in Nagios Network Analyzer. You can then view the NetFlow data in Nagios Network Analyzer to monitor your network traffic.
