Cisco 3650 Flexible Netflow - Sensor has not recieved data

Votes:

0

I have the following configuration on a Cisco WS-C3650-48PD switch which appears to support flexible netflow v9 - configuration listed below. The statistics below shows packets successfully being sent to PRTG server but "Records added" in this output remains at 0 and the PRTG web portal continues to display "This sensor has not received any data since startup."

When I stop PRTG services and run NetFlow 9 Tester the "NF9 Packets received (ScrIP)" and "Template received (ID)" fields contain the correct data but the "Decoded Flows" field is empty.

I have installed PRTG on Windows 2012, 7 and 10 with the same results. I will try to attach or provide link to screenshot of NetFlow 9 Tester.

Any suggestions? Is it possible the service policy on the interface is preventing data from being in the packets?

Hello Slkhawk98,

I'm afraid that flexible Netflow isn't supported by PRTG. The flow sensors will not be able to decode the incoming flows due to the additional fields compared to Netflow v9, sorry.

Best regards, Felix
