Title: Netflow - How to turn it off?
Post by: thefunkygibbon on February 16, 2022, 06:14:30 PM
Hi,

I turned on netflow to try to troubleshoot some traffic flows earlier on but I cannot see a way of stopping it.. the 'cache' page has packet counts still going up and up and it was about half hour ago when i turned it on.   
Obviously I don't want it to run forever...  any pointers?

Cheers

If I remember correctly when I did it, it was a case of setting both Listening Interfaces and WAN Interface to "Nothing selected" as a first step (and apply of course). I might have had to sighup the process, that part is hazy from memory.

Thanks, yeah I already tried to 'reverse' the config of netflow so its not monitoring anything. but alas the numbers keep on incrementing.

But i've just rebooted (updates) and it seems to have stopped now, unsurprisingly.  Bit concerning that there doesn't seem to be an easy way of turning something off though.  :o
