Meaning, run the services.msc component from within Windows to see running services. You should find one for the FlowTraq software you installed, and it should be "running."

Yes, that is I want say. I don't see any "FlowTraq" software in services.msc.

Sorry, it may not be called "FlowTraq," that's just the people that make the software you installed:
For Windows I also follow the PDF, but I choose "Flow Exporter" instead "nProbe". I did the next:
It may be called "Flow Exporter." I honestly don't know. But look through the list and see if you can find one that looks like it is the right one, and make sure it is "Running."

Don't worry, my english isn't good. That I want say is that among all services in services.msc, I don't see any related with "Flow Exporter". I hope you understand me now.

Your English is fine! :-)

It looks like you need to reinstall the Windows flow exporter, since it should be a running service.

Yes, reinstall the program solved that problem, now I see the service.

In Linux I have the same problem, I don't see anything:

Code: Select all

[user@linux ~]$ ps -ef | grep nprobe
user   10284 23405  0 17:25 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto nprobe

In Linux, you will want to search for "fprobe":

Code: Select all

ps -aef | grep fprobe

Did the above command solve the linux issue for you?

Now NNA collect data from Windows machine, thank you!!

However...

Code: Select all

[user@linux ~]$ ps -aef | grep fprobe
nagios   27774 27679  0 12:05 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto fprobe
Edit:
Top 5 Talkers doesn't show anything (Windows).
I think isn't working again. In the field "Traffic last 30 minutes" I see "No Data".

Edit 2:
After restart the service in Windows, NNA collects data again.

I suspect that your fprobe installation just straight up failed.

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/sbin
If there isn't a file in there called fprobe that is executable you need to re-run the installation and show us the output if it fails again.
