[ARGUS] Export sflow stream

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Russell,
Sorry for the delayed response … winter is here and the snow is falling, so had to pay some attention to that …
Sflow processing in argus-clients-3.0.8.3 is rudimentary, but there are ways of getting it in, including raconvert.1 (use something to print sflow to ascii and then import it into argus using raconvert.1) … I think we’ll need to improve radium.1 if you would like to suck up an sflow stream … And argus sflow support hasn’t been tested to any real level that I would build a production system around …

So, with all that, if you have some Sflow data, or a way to generate an Sflow stream, I’d be happy to make changes in radium.1 to support it.

What kind of features were you thinking about for radium.1 ???  Do you want radium.1 to write an Sflow stream from actual argus data ???

Carter
