collector IP is also set accordingly

Hello,

in order to check if the flows arrive and are valid, please pause the PRTG flow sensors, and then run the sFlow tester. Do you see any flows there?

Here my working example in FortiSwitch 124D with OS ver 6.0

"config system sflow
    set collector-ip 192.168.100.101
end
config switch interface
    edit ""port24""
        set sflow-sampler enabled
        set sample-rate 4
        set polling-interval 60
    next
end"
