Description : fast, secure and flexible NetFlow collector
flowd is a small, fast and secure NetFlow collector. It offers the
following features:
* NetFlow protocol 1, 5, 7 and 9 (including IPv6 flows)
* IPv4 and IPv6 transport of flows
* filtering and tagging of flows
* compact binary format for flow storage
* Perl and Python interface for parsing on-disk record format
flowd works with any standard NetFlow exporter, including hardware
devices (e.g. routers) or software flow tracking agents.
The flowd sensor follows the Unix philosophy of "doing one thing well"
- - it doesn't try to do anything beyond accepting NetFlow packets and
storing them in a standard format on disk. In particular, it does not
include support for storing flows in multiple formats or performing
data analysis. That sort of thing is left to external tools. The
source distribution includes several example tools including a basic
reporting script and one to store flows in a SQL database.
