Description


This article describes how to troubleshoot Sflow and netflow issues.

 

Scope

 

FortiGate.

Solution


Viewing the Configuration:

 

diagnose test application sflowd 3
diagnose test application sflowd 4

 

Netflow does not have a separate daemon and is instead running under sflowd.
The Netflow configuration can be viewed by using test level 3 or 4.


For Netflow, the standard value is UDP port 2055, but other values like 9555, 9025, or 9026 can also be used.


Session 1:

 

diag sniffer packet any 'host x.x.x.x' 4 0 l

 

 x.x.x.x with sflow server IP/ netflow server IP.

 

To stop the Sniffer, use CTRL + C.

Session 2:

 

diag debug flow show function-name en

diag debug flow filter addr x.x.x.x    <----- Replace x.x.x.x with sflow server IP/NetFlow server IP.
diag debug flow trace start 1000

diag debug enable

 

To stop the debug logs:

 

diag debug reset
diag debug disable

 

Session 3:

 

    diag debug application sflowd -1
    diag debug en
