NAME

ipfixcol2-ipfix-input - IPFIX File (input plugin)

DESCRIPTION

The plugin reads flow data from one or more files in IPFIX File format. It is possible to use it to load flow records previously stored using IPFIX output plugin.

Unlike UDP and TCP input plugins which infinitely waits for data from NetFlow/IPFIX exporters, the plugin will terminate the collector after all files are processed.

EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION

<input>


    <name>IPFIX File</name>


    <plugin>ipfix</plugin>


    <params>


        <path>/tmp/flow/file.ipfix</path>


    </params>
</input>

PARAMETERS

path: Path to file(s) in IPFIX File format. It is possible to use asterisk instead of a filename/directory, tilde character (i.e. "~") instead of the home directory of the user, and brace expressions (i.e. "/tmp/{source1,source2}/file.ipfix"). Directories and non-IPFIX Files that match the file pattern are skipped/ignored.
bufferSize: Optional size of the internal buffer to which the content of the file is partly preloaded. [default: 1048576, min: 131072]
