I'm trying to use nProbe (v.7.0.141203 (r4553)) with the following setup:

juniper ex switch --- sflow/jflow udp 6343 ---> nProbe --- udp 2055 -->
collector

I'd eventually like to convert from junipers sflow/jflow to netflow v9, but
from what I can tell, nProbe isn't sending anything to the collector.

I've found http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ntop/misc/31468 and given
a similar command a try, but even after running nprobe for a few minutes
and seeing sflow come into the box from tcpdump, when I close nprobe, it
claims:

24/Apr/2015 12:51:28 [plugin.c:270] Terminating plugins.

24/Apr/2015 12:51:28 [nprobe.c:2318] Total flow stats:  [0 bytes/0 pkts][0
flows/0 pkts sent]

I've tried a handful of commands, including:

nprobe --collector-port 6343 -n <ip>:2055
nprobe -3 6343 -i none -n <ip>:2055 -m 1 -z 1
nprobe --collector-port 6343 -i none -n none -P /tmp/flows -D t

When I add -i and my interface, my collector does receive some occasional
flows, due to me being ssh'd into the machine.

I can't seem to get any output from nprobe once it has started until I
close the program.  Again, I'm seeing traffic from the switch to 6343 on
the nprobe server from tcpdump, but even with -b 2 and --debug, I simply
get:

24/Apr/2015 13:01:53 [collect.c:99] Created UDP sockets

The only thing I could think of that may be the issue is my sampling from
the Juniper is currently set to 1 in every 5000, as I'm not trying to
stress the production network at the moment.  Has anyone gotten a setup
like this to work, or know any additional debugging tips to see why nprobe
is ignoring the flows?

Thanks,

Charles
