Netflow/sFlow problems

RouterOS General
1

I’ve tried to setup a few NetFlow/sFlow apps and I can’t seem to get them to work. Even tried on that gave directions on how to set it up for a mikrotik board, still didn’t work. they all seem to want to access the board via snmp and fail on connecting.

Does anyone know of a software that works w/ mikrotik?

2

have you enabled SNMP in RouterOS?

3

Yes I have.

4

have you checked that?

I have Scruitinizer and PRTG working with a number of Mikrotik RouterBoards and it works great, the config was not at all complicated.

Same thing here. I have nfsen up and running on an Ubuntu box with several boards sending netflow data to the server with no problem. Setup is very easy on the MikroTik, getting the server set up is usually the difficult part.

Yes i have.

here is what it says. I've even tried putting the IP of the PC that's asking for the info in under address, still doesn't work

[admin@CMCSNet] /snmp community> print

NAME ADDRESS SECURITY READ-ACCESS

0 Cacti 0.0.0.0/0 none yes
1 flow 0.0.0.0/0 none yes
2 public 0.0.0.0/0 none yes

That’s actually not what I was after.

Did you enable SNMP globally?

/snmp set enabled=yes

thats what it was. Aparently the tick box in Winbox to “enable” on the SNMP settings doens’t do anything
