Custom Netflow v9 Sensor creation

Votes:

0

When I try to create the following new channel I get an error:

  1. 1:VMware_View
 ( Protocol[UDP] and 
( SourcePort[4172] or DestinationPort[4172] ) )

I've tried many different variations of this with the same result:

Ajax Error (Bad Request) 14.3.11.2750 The validation of at least one of the new objects failed because of the following:

Error in channel list: Line 3, Channel #1:VMware_View
, Unknown token " and 
".

The object was not created.

Please help me understand what I am doing wrong. I did exactly as described in your documentation.

I was able to add this to my Netflow Custom sensor without issue:

#1:VMware_View

(Protocol[UDP] and (SourcePort[4172] or DestinationPort[4172]))

I think it was a question of spacing in the definition.
