Subject: Flowscan doesn't work!!!

Hello, I'm Alexandra from Ecuador

I have installed flowscan and all its requierement (as manual says), i
have a Cisco 3600 with IOS 12.1(2) and i excecuted "ip flow-export
version ?" and a i get 1,5,6 as answer, so i think the cisco support
flow export version 5, well

I have a network like this (the real ips are others)

            INTERNET

                    |
                    |
                    |
               CISCO
                router
     serial 3/0         ether
    20.20.20.1/30  10.10.10.1/30 (and 5 more networks)

                    |
                    |
                    |

               linux transparent proxy
         eth0           eth1
 10.10.10.2/30  30.30.30.1/24

                    |
                    |
                    |

                radial link

                    |
                    |
                    |

                flowscan
                eth0
                30.30.30.74/24
        gateway 30.30.30.1

The transparent proxy (RedHat 7.1)acts as router and all machines has
its as gateway defaults even the pc that has flowscan installed, but the
gateway default of the transparent proxy linux is the cisco router

Well, i configured the cisco like the manual in Ether and Serial 3/0,
but when i execute flowscan i get the next flowscan.log

My other problem is that i can see the networks.rrd files but i can't
create the png files to see the traffic, and in png files created like

-rw-r--r--    1 root     flowscan     7029 Oct 17 12:05
io_protocols_bits.png
-rw-r--r--    1 root     flowscan     7073 Oct 17 12:05

services_Mbps.png
-rw-r--r--    1 root     flowscan     7851 Oct 17 12:05
services_pkts.png

i can't see any traffic (is empty)

=======================

The flowscan.cf file has
CampusIO.cf
WaitSeconds 300
and defaults

=======================

The CampusIO.cf file has :

OutputIfIndexes 1, 2
LocalSubnetFiles bin/local_nets.boulder (where i put my 5 networks)
OutputDir graphs
and defaults

I excecuted :
# snmpwalk router public interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr

and i got:

interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.1 = Ethernet0/0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.2 = Serial3/0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.3 = Serial3/1
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.4 = Serial3/2
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.5 = Serial3/3
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.6 = Null0

as in use ethernet and serial3/0 i put OutputIfIndexes 1, 2

and when i executed

# flowdumper -a flows.current
#

i have no answer and flows.current has 574K of information (i think):

# ls -l
total 268
drwxr-sr-x    2 root     flowscan     4096 Oct 17 10:58 bin
-rw-r--r--    1 root     flowscan     4981 Oct 17 12:28 flowscan.log
-rw-r--r--    1 root     flowscan   215970 Oct 17 12:29 flows.current
drwxr-sr-x    2 root     flowscan     4096 Oct 17 11:40 graphs
drwxr-sr-x    2 root     flowscan     4096 Oct 17 12:28 saved

=======================

The cflowd.conf file has :

COLLECTOR {
  HOST:  ip of my flowscan pc in the graph (30.30.30.74)
  AUTH:  none
}

COLLECTOR {
  HOST:  127.0.0.1 # IP address of central collector
  AUTH:  none
}

CISCOEXPORTER {
  HOST:  10.10.10.1   # ip of ether from cisco in the graph (10.10.10.1)

  ADDRESSES:  { 10.10.10.1,     #ip of ether 10.10.10.1
                                20.20.20.1}    #and serial 3/0
20.20.20.1
  CFDATAPORT: 2055   #  Port on which to listen for data.
}

The Napster_subnets.boulder file has :

This networks are configured in Ethernet of Cisco for routing purpose
