Program for exporting FlowMon probe data in the NetFlow version5 format

flowmon_nf5 [-d] [-F cfgfile] [-h] [-V] [-4|-6] [-i card:port] [-v level] [-D level] host:port

The flowmon_nf5 program reads data from the FlowMon probe and sends them to a remote collector in the NetFlow version 5 format.

flowmon_nf5 is invoked with the hostname or IP address of the remote collector and the port number at which the collector is listening.

-d: Run the program as a daemon.
-F cfgfile: Configure flow record filtering as specified in cfgfile. By default, no filtering is performed. Syntax of the configuration file is described in flowfilter.conf(5).
-h: Display program help.
-V: Show program version.
-4 or -6: Force IPv4 or IPv6 transport of NetFlow records. These two options are mutually exclusive.
-i card:port: Select the FlowMon probe to use and its interface port. The default, and actually the only currently supported combination is 0:0.
-v level: Set the verbosity level (0 to 5).
-D level: Set the level of debugging information sent to stderr (0 to 5).
