Could you pause the netflow sensors in PRTG and test if proper and compatible Netflow packets are arriving at the PRTG host, using our Netflow Tester?
Which results do you get in the tester?
Please forward a screenshot and the logs from the tester for analysis to [email protected] referring to this knowledge base post.
