Global cflowd components

The following common (global) attributes apply to all instances of cflowd:

• active timeout

  This attribute controls the maximum time a flow record can be active before it is automatically exported to defined collectors.

• inactive timeout

  This attribute controls the minimum time before a flow is declared inactive. If no traffic is sampled for an existing flow for the inactive timeout duration, the flow is declared inactive and marked to be exported to the defined collectors.

• cache size

  This attribute defines the maximum size of the flow cache.

• overflow

  This attribute defines the percentage of flow records that are exported to all collectors if the flow cache size is exceeded.

• rate

  This attribute defines the system wide sampling rate for cflowd.

• template retransmit

  This attribute defines the interval (in seconds) at which the Version 9 and Version 10 templates are retransmitted to all configured Version 9 or Version 10 collectors.
