Dear DrVirus

Thank you for using PRTG. Which of the PRTG Netflow sensors are you using? Do you use any custom filter rule for that sensor?

Dear DrVirus

Please check your sensor settings and device settings. Are you using the correct sampling rate? Does the sensor listen to the correct port?

Please use a file download to induce traffic and check if you can see the traffic in the toplists. By default, toplists refresh every 60 seconds.

Dear DrVirus

Please test if PRTG in principle recognizes the traffic.

Please use a file download to induce traffic and check if you can see the traffic in the toplists. By default, toplists refresh every 60 seconds.

Dear DrVirus

Please download a file from anywhere, the only important thing is that the traffic must pass the port which you monitor with the NetFlow sensor. The download should also be large enough to have a visible effect on the toplists.

If you see the toplists change, the sensor gets the traffic in principle. If not, it looks like your sensor is listening to the wrong port.
