Overview

The NetoFlow Connector is software you can run in your environment to collect NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX from your network devices and deliver those flow records to Netography Fusion. Its purpose is to give you a collection point on your network to deliver the unencrypted UDP packets using the NetFlow protocol sent from your network devices over an encrypted TLS connection to Netography Fusion over HTTPS and TCP.

The use of the NetoFlow Connector is optional. If delivering unencrypted UDP over the Internet to Netography Fusion is acceptable for your use case, you can send NetFlow directly to the Netography Fusion SaaS.

Supported Protocols

NetoFlow supports NetFlow v5, v9, v10 (IPFIX) and sFlow v5.

NetoFlow listens on a single, configurable UDP port for incoming flow. It can also optionally tee flow to other flow collection platforms.

Supported Platforms

NetoFlow is distributed in the following formats:

• Docker-compatible container hosted on Netography's public container registry
• DEB package that can be installed via apt-get on compatible Linux distributions
• RPM package that can be installed via yum on EL7 and EL8 compatible Linux distributions

NetoFlow is built for the x86-64 / amd64 platform.
