Sending flow data from a switch direct to ExtremeAnalytics (without a flowcollector engine)

Sending flow data from a switch direct to ExtremeAnalytics (without a flowcollector engine)

Hello everybody

I would like to configure the Extreme Switches (x440-G2, with version 22.4) to sending sflow/netflow data direct to the Extreme Analytics. I heard this is now possible without having a flowcollector enginge like PV FC-180 installed. Is this true? Because I couldn't find any referenced documentation to this. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Best regards, Yves

You add the app telemetry source under flow sources.
Maybe the sflow.pol file is only created once you do a first enforce.
On the switch I think all should be configured by Analytics.

I don't have a sflow.pol file.
And how/where can I add a "application telemetry source"?

What do I have to configure on the switch side?

Thank you

Ok, some file editing is needed now to make it work.
On XMC, copy sflow,pol.
cp /usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/Purview/Fingerprints/sflow.pol /tftpboot/

On Analytics, edit file /opt/appid/conf/appidconfig.xml and change interfaces to be like:






Restart analytics or appid after this.

On XMC go to analytics, configuration and on your engine add an application telemetry source (the switch) and enforce.

Hi Oskar, it's me again. Are we talking here about sflow+ ? Because my workmate said, it has to run with sflow+ and not only with sflow.
