sFLOW in FG1000C CPU Utilization

[Dyop_Geop]

Is there anyone who has a FG with sflow? How much CPU utilization will be added to the curretn util? Is there a formal documentation from FOrtinet? Thanks for helping.

Running without problems on a 200A - MR3P15. Didn' t analyze before/after performance basline your stats, turn it on, check performance against the baseline diag system top <delay> <max lines> get system performance status get system status sflow is documented in the guide http://docs-legacy.fortinet.com/fos50hlp/50/index.html#page/FortiOS%25205.0%2520Help/monitoring.102.05.html

This is a trick question and there' s no one answer. The amount of traffic and cpu-util is going to be based on number of interfaces and amount traffic being carried. All of which will impact the felt CPU % utilization.

Also will be based on the following interface specific settings: set sample-rate: sFlow sampler sample rate, ie how much data to sample during each poll. set polling-interval: sFlow sampler counter polling interval. how often to poll.
