| - | ====== IPFIX receiver utility ====== | ||
| - | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
| - | IPFIX receiver is used for receiving an IPFIX (Netflow 10) stream from DPI devices and store the stream to a local file. The stored file can be processed as a text file any unix utilities. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Installation and upgrade ===== | ||
| - | - use VAS Experts repositore according to p.1 of the [[dpi_10_update|DPI installation instruction]]. | ||
| - | - install ipfixreceiver: | ||
| - | - check changes in configuration files for installed version look at part " | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Important changes in version 1.0.3 vs 1.0.2 ===== | ||
| - | - chenged configuration file in part of IP address transformation, | ||
| - | - saving data now in separate process, important if DPI has more than 25 000 session per second, it can load upto 2 proccesor cores. In DEBUG loging added check records to controll save processing\\ (a)cnt=NNNNN - send NNNNN buffer\\ (b)cnt=YYYYY - saved YYYYY buffer. | ||
| - | - buffer_size parameter added - size of buffer to interchange between receiver and saver processes, use it in [dump] section, default value - 100000 records (for 20Gbe or 25 000 seesion per second). If the buffer size is not reached then 30sec timeout is used to push buffer into saver process. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Supplied files ===== | ||
| - | - configuration expamples: | ||
| - | / | ||
| - | / | ||
| - | - programm files directory: | ||
| - | - additional files:\\ < | ||
| - | - link to executable: | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Additional OS settings ===== | ||
| - | - set iptables for receive external data\\ Ipfixreceiver is requred to open ports that will be used to receive IPFIX streams (in configuration see section [connect])\\ For instance you are using TCP protocol, 1500 port and IP=212.12.11.10\\ < | ||
| - | protocol=tcp | ||
| - | host=212.12.11.10 | ||
| - | port=1500</ | ||
| - | - configure logrotate\\ Example for logrotate file / | ||
| - | / | ||
| - | rotate 5 | ||
| - | missingok | ||
| - | notifempty | ||
| - | compress | ||
| - | size 10M | ||
| - | daily | ||
| - | copytruncate | ||
| - | nocreate | ||
| - | postrotate | ||
| - | endscript | ||
| - | }</ | ||
| - | - configure remove old files. Example, removing old archive files (more then 31 days) with session records in gzip:\\ < | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Execution parameters ===== | ||
| - | ipfixreceiver utility has next parameters: | ||
| - | < | ||
| - | где | ||
| - | start - start as service | ||
| - | stop - stop service | ||
| - | state - get state of service | ||
| - | restart - restart service | ||
| - | -v - version info | ||
| - | -f <config file> - config file name (required) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Example: | ||
| - | ipfixreceiver start -f / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | ===== Configuration ===== | ||

| - | ===== Troubleshooting ===== | ||
| - | - how can I get version?\\ Use:\\ < | ||
| - | - can I send IPFIX streams fom differ DPI deveces to one port?\\ Yes, for UDP. Ipfixreceiver will write it to the same output files. | ||
| - | - How can I learn that utility is working?\\ a) check port is lissening, example 1500:< | ||
| - | - all checked, but no data is received?\\ a) check iptables rules.\\ b) check ipfixreceiver configuration for IP server address. | ||
| - | - DPI sends more then 2 mln session per second, in DEBUG level I see that counter in saver is slower | ||
