[influxdb] Netflow -> Telegraf/Sflow-RT -> InfluxDB -> Grafana ?

[m***@gmail.com]

Hi,

Today, I work on a network metrology project (environment : cisco nexux 5k, 6k, 7k).
I need to collect, store and visualize Netflow data in dashboards.

Recently, I configured my Cisco devices to generate Netflow data. This part is up.

But the problem is that I can't to see this data on InfluxDB. I begin in this application domain and I don't have a visibility on this subject.

So my question is :
Is it possible to collect Netflow data on Telegraf (or Sflow-RT), and send this data in InfluxDB ? After this, visualize metrics on Grafana for example.

Like : 0 --> 1 --> 2 --> 3

- 0. Probe : Netflow
- 1. Collect : Telegraf
- 2. Store : InfluxDB
- 3. Visualize : Grafana

OR

- 0. Probe : Netflow
- 1. Collect : Sflow-RT
- 2. Store : InfluxDB
- 3. Visualize : Grafana


If my explanation is not clear, tell me.

Thanks for answers.


Regards,


Mathieu

It looks like there's a project out there to do this
already: https://github.com/wimtie/sflow-go

Hey Paul,

thanks for the hint to that go-project. However, how is this setup/configured. I could not really find any information, hints appreciated!

Thanks,
