[Cflowd] RE: Can't LOG messages using cfdcollect, and it doesn't work

[Rogelio Quintanilla Tamez]

Hi !

I am trying to make this stuff work, I have made a change in the design, now
running cflowdmux, cflowd and cfdcollect on the same machine (Solaris 8).

Al this components are running, I can see flow data coming to the server and
it is being saved on flow files... But still can not generate arts files...
Cfdcollect is active.

I cant see any message on syslog, neither informative messages... What could
it be?
I have restarted syslogd... And nothing...

Thank you for any help...

Hi folks,

I am having troubles logging messages on syslog...

This is my Cflowd implementation:
I have one server receiving NetFlow packets, and other server as a central
DB repository and reporting server. 
Server A: Running cflowdmux and cflowd Server B: Running cfdcollect

Both servers are connected directly using a cross-over cable... The
communication is OK.

On Server A (Solaris 8) 192.168.1.3:
Right now, I can see the NetFlow packets being saved on files as it is
supposed to be. Running "flowwatch" command on Server A, display activity
correctly.

But on Server B (Solaris 9) 192.168.1.2:
I can run cfdcollect, and there are no visible error messages, but there
aren't informative messages neither. Neither syslog or messages are
registering any cfdcollect messages, so I think there is a problem with my
syslog service.

I have looked at the packets on the cross-over interface using snoop, and
cfdcollect doesn't even try to query Server A for flows.

I am including my actual cflowd.conf file of Server A, and cfdcollect.conf
of Server B as reference.

Does anyone had this kind of problem before?
What do you recommend to troubleshoot Solaris 9 for this kind of problem
with syslog and cfdcollect?

Thank you very much in advance for any hint.
