Summary
Question
Use below procedure when setting the pool size based on the amount of netflow packets received in the Leaf.
Answer
Output created from flowanalysis tool on the leaf collector would be the first step:
Stop the leaf collector: nmstrafficleafstop.ovpl
•Run nnmtrafficflowanalysistool.ovpl -a x.x.x.x -p xxxx -d 10 , where:
-a should be the ip address which is configured on the devices to send flow packets to,
-p is the port used for the leaf collector
-d is duration in minutes. Normally, 10 minutes is fine, for this test.
It will produce parameters that should be configured in leaf and master collectors in the below files, based on the amount of netflow packets received:
Traffic data dir \nmsas\traffic-leaf\conf\nms-traffic-leaf.address.properties ->
flowrecord.pool.size=
topn.flowrecord.pool.size=
And on Master collector \nmsas\traffic-master\conf\nms-traffic-master.address.properties
nms.traffic-master.maxflowrecord.inqueue=
In order for those parameters to take effect, restart the spi services.
