Hi Dave,

Thanks for your help.... now i have installed and configured arts and cflowd on solaris 2.6. I configured cflowd.conf and cfdcollector.conf files according to my requirements. I have started the cflowdmux, cflowd and cfdcollector without any error. I have configured my router and i captured packets on my machine through snoop command to make sure that my machine is getting UDP packets from Router. I can also see some outputs when i do

# ps -ef | grep cflowdmux
    root 5537     1 0 11:23:38 pts/7    0:00 ./cflowdmux
    root 5652   607 0 12:29:20 pts/7    0:00 grep cflowdmux

Now problem is, it should create a file /usr/local/arts/data/cflow/10.1.0.1 but it doesnot create this file. This, i have mentioned in FlowDir in OPTIONS stanza of cflowd.conf file. I have specified flows in the COLLECT portion of the CISCOEXPORTER stanza.

any idea?? help will be highly apprecaited

one more thing, where can i see the syslog messages?

thanks

regards,

Amin
