goflowd
Summary
goflowd is netflow probe like softflowd. It is written by golang. goflowd uses ietf-ipfix-psamp.yang standarized in RFC6728 data model for configuration. The yang model configuraiton is acheived by using openconfig/ygot.
Execution
./goflowd -c config.json
Configuration sample
Configuration file is json based.
In following sample, the packets are read from enp0s3 interface and export flow to 192.168.1.1 port 4739. In this sample, FlowKeys are sourceIPv4Address, destinationIPv4Address, protocolIdentifier, sourceTransportPort, and destinationTransportPort.
If you want to use offline pcap file instead of online capture, you need to use offlineFile": "file name" instread of ifName": [ "interface name" ].

Limiation of IPFIX export in goflowd
- SCTP is mandatory in IPFIX (RFC7011), however go's net.Dial does not support SCTP. Hence, goflowd does not support SCTP export.
- Every packets exported by goflowd contain Template Set.
- Option Template has not implemented.

Overview ¶
Package main is a generated package which contains definitions of structs which represent a YANG schema. The generated schema can be compressed by a series of transformations (compression was false in this case).
This package was generated by /home/hitoshi/go/src/github.com/openconfig/ygot/genutil/names.go using the following YANG input files:
- yang/goflowd.yang
- yang/ietf-ipfix-psamp.yang
Imported modules were sourced from:
- yang/...
