Check the FAQ.  There are two kinds of sFlow packets and the plugin only
processes one of them. But I don't remember which is which.

Subject: [Ntop] sFlow - can i process all packets

I want ntop to process every packet it receives from sFlow.

I have sFlow working on my switches (configured to send 1 of 1024) and ntop
is receiving them, but it only actually processes 1 of 1024 packets.  I have
used sflowutils and sFlowTrend to verify that I am getting lots of
FLOWSAMPLE packets.  Currently out of 1,029,778 recieved packets only 1005
have been processed.  Which means I'm only seeing 1 out of every 1048576
packets (1024 x 1024).

Under network interfaces label, I can verify that the sample rate of the
packets received is 1024 (again, this is what the switches are configured to
do).  Is this value used to calculate how many packets are processed?  If
so, can I set this value to 0 so that every packet is processed?  I noticed
that when setting up a local network interface, that sample rate is 0 and it
processes 100% of packets received.

I'm running ntop v3.2 using this configuration: ntop -d -L --user ntop
--db-file-path /var/ntop --interface none --use-syslog=local3 -- daemon I
made sure that the sFlow-device is selected in the Switch NIC page.
The switches are Foundry FastIron FESx448 (2) and FES9604 (1) with all ports
sending sFlow every 1024 packets (about 200 ports)

I'll happily provide more information if necessary.  Thanks,

Daniel
