Craig,

Thanks for the 'flowd2ft' script to enable conversion between flowd V9 
captures and flow-tools ft files ( 
http://mailman.splintered.net/pipermail/flow-tools/2009-March/003765.html 
)

From your accompanying email message of Mar 13, 2009:

> Naturally it only supports for V5 fields (use 'record netflow-original' 
when setting up Cisco flexible netflow).

Does this require that the exporter be set this way only? In other words, 
will 'flowd-reader -c' be able to take any v9 file and convert it for 
flow-tools (V5 only - which is OK), or just those exported with 'record 
netflow-original'?

Second question:

Do you have to be careful syncing up the cron times with the flowd file 
times?

Many thanks!

Joe

Re: [Flow-tools] NetFlow v9 support in flow-tools?



There's an active flow-tools code fork, but it also lacks netflow v9 
support:
  http://code.google.com/p/flow-tools/updates/list

Adding v9 to flow-tools is not that easy; the fixed-length file structure 
currently used doesn't lend itself to the arbitarry field/protocol 
capabilities of netflow v9. It's a substantial effort.

See this post for a workaround (for IPv4 only):
