Install and configure Cacti flowview in RHEL 6.3

Install and configure Cacti flowview in RHEL 6.3

Test environment:

1. RHEL 6.3X64 minimal installation
2. You have installed cacti 0.8.8.
3. You have configured the epel source.
4. flow-export has been configured on the cisco router.

Installation and configuration process:

1. Install flow-tools

Yum install flow-tools

2. install flowview

Wget http://docs.cacti.net/_media/plugin:flowview-v1.1-1.tgz

Tar zxvf plugin: flowview-v1.1-1.tgz

Mv plugin: flowview-v1.1-1.tgz flowview-v1.1-1.tgz

Cp flowview/var/www/html/cacti/plugin

Cp/var/www/html/cacti/plugin/flowview/flow-capture/etc/init. d/flow-capture

Vi/etc/init. d/flow-capture

Find the following content and change it to the following:

$ Cacti_base = '/var/www/html/cacti ';

2.5 modify configuration:

Vi/var/www/html/cacti/include/config. php is as follows:

$ Plugins = array ();

$ Plugins [] = 'flowview ';

Save and exit.

3. log on to cacti and find Configuration-Plugin Management to install flowview.

In Configuration-setting-Misc, find the Flows Directory and fill in the path, such as/var/netflow. This path can only exist. It is mainly used to place the obtained data packets.

If this folder does not exist on your host. Create:

Mkdir-p/var/netflow

Click "save"

4. Start data packet acquisition

/Etc/init. d/flow-capture start

Ps-ef | grep flow

Root 11333 1 0? 00:00:00/usr/bin/flow-capture-w/var/netflow/router 0/0/2055-S5-V5-z 0-n 1439-e 2880-N-1

5. In cacti, click the "flow" button above, and create a new listener in listeners to save. For example, router.

6. Check the data packet capture status in the cacti flow plug-in de fliter. However, the results are not displayed in actual conditions. No reason is found. As an alternative, we can use the following method to view the capture status.

In the/var/netflow directory of cacti, you will find a router folder. There is also a folder named by date. There are many files in it. For example, my:

Ll/var/netflow/router/2014-10-25/
Ft-v05.2014-10-25.134601 + 0800
Ft-v05.2014-10-25.142601 + 0800
Ft-v05.2014-10-25.150601 + 0800

How can I view the content? The method is as follows:

Flow-cat/var/netflow/router/2014-10-25/ft-v05.2014-10-25.132801 + 0800 | flow-stat-f8

192.168.40.1 1 100000 1000
172.16.11.211 10 12451 356445

Finally, which cisco devices can enable flow-export?

1. All vrouters are available.

2. You can go up from vrouters 4500. 3750.

How can I configure a vro?
