SFLow Documentation

Hi Nagios Support,

Do you have a documentation on how to implement SFlow into Nagios XI.

This is one of the client need during our demonstration.

Hope you can assist us.

Thanks.

This would be what the Nagios Network Analyzer is used for:

Hi,

Did Nagios XI or network analyzer supported Fortigate to monitor sflow / netflow monitoring?

Thanks in advance.

[sreinhardt]

Yes, provided fortigate sends in a proper sflow or netflow format and not a separate proprietary alteration of either format, Network analyzer should work with any product that can send in the standard expected formats.

Thanks for your quick answer.

So Network analyzer does but not XI? Am I right?

[sreinhardt]

Exactly! However Network Analyzer and XI do integrate with each other. NNA can do some checking on various statistics on data it recieves and send to XI, XI also has a component to pull graphs and other statistics from NNA. So they can work together, however you are right that XI does not handle or collect any flow data itself.

Many thanks.
