At the moment, there aren't that many users that are using the IPFIX with the extensions that Sonicwall provides but this is something that we would consider if there are enough customers asking for that functionality.

I will change this article to a wishlist article and anyone who looks for this as well can post here. If there are enough posts to change the way this sensor works, we will try and implement it into PRTG.

I will throw my hat into the ring and say that SonicWall IPFIX extensions would be a great addition.

Hello PRTG!

Are the Sonicwall IPFIX with extensions something that we can expect in the near future?

Thanks & Great product!

It's still on the wishlist, as there haven't been further requests to it. I've counted yours, it's still not scheduled for a certain future version. Please bear with us.

We have moved from older Cisco Firewalls to Sonciwalls, so I second this. And have an active Sonicwall case open on this, as I have lost the accountability of my WAN connections.

It is possible I might have to move to another product.

Count me as another +1

+1 I would love this as well, PRTG is amazing. We are committed to Sonicwall and would rather use PRTG than GMSFlow.

+1 for me too. I know this is an old thread but I really am surprised more haven't chimed in. Maybe Sonicwallers are using the GMS Flowserver or something else but I like the idea of one pane of glass for everything with PRTG.

We also would like to have this function. Any additional SonicWALL sensors with Flow capability are highly welcome :)

Hi, just wondering if there are any updates on this? Is Paessler looking at implementing this sensor anytime soon? It would be very helpful for our organization.

Thanks,

Hello Aaron,

We are aware of this demand, however we are currently working on other projects and feature request. Unfortunately, I'm unable to tell if and when we are going to implement this.

Sorry that I can't offer a more satisfactory answer at this point.

Please bear with us and best regards,
Sebastian

Plus one for us, we use all SonicWall devices and it would be great to use the IPFIX with the extensions that Sonicwall provides.

Hello, just tossing another reply in here to see if there has been any further discussion around supporting IPFIX w/ Extensions...we are in the market for a new Netflow Analyzer, but this does put PRTG further down on our list because of no support for usernames, etc.

Thanks,

Hello Aaron,

Thank you very much for your repeated inquiry.

I'm afraid that there are still no satisfying news regarding IPFIX extensions, sorry to say.

Best regards,
Sebastian
