Strictly opFlow is not a OSS ( Open Source Software ), to confirm the feeling of use ( = User eXperience ).

For more information's official site reference, but, installation of MongoDB and setting of Flowd, supplemental part is often necessary.

Install the MongoDB

Installation instructions for MongoDB was easy to understand is this page.(Sorry in JP)

Opmantek Setup for Flowd

Tuning the setting of Flowd for Opmantek.

adduser _flowd
\cp /usr/local/opmantek/install/flowd.conf /usr/local/etc/flowd.conf
cp /usr/local/opmantek/install/flowd.init.d /etc/init.d/flowd
mkdir /usr/local/var
mkdir /usr/local/var/run
mkdir /var/opflow/
chkconfig flowd on
service flowd start 

Flowd startup error ( fail )

It might be occurred following error ( failure ) when you try to start the service of Flowd.

service flowd start
Starting flow daemon flowdsocket: Address family not supported by protocol
Listener setup of [::]:12345 failed
[ Failure ]already started[ OK ]

Because this in the Listen port configuration error for IPv6, modify the boot setting.

vi  /usr/local/etc/flowd.conf
# $Id: flowd.conf,v 1.15 2005/05/14 06:04:48 djm Exp $

# Specify where flowd should store its flow records
logfile "/var/opflow/flowd"

# Specify what addresses/ports flowd should listen on.
# Multiple addresses may be specified
#listen on 127.0.0.1:12345
#listen on [::1]:12345
listen on 0.0.0.0:12345
#listen on [::]:12345 <- Comment Out this line
### disable ipv6

Now that you have started without error Flowd.

Opmantek Setup for MongoDB

Tuning the setting of MongoDB for Opmantek.

cp /usr/local/opmantek/install/mongod.init.d /etc/init.d/mongod

It is overwritten, but for the time being OK.

Install the opFlow License

When the pull-down on the NMIS to select the "opFlow", it rises screen of opFlow.

Since the license is required, to obtain a license from the official in the "Get a Free Trial License ...", to enter.

opFlowd Setup and Start

After you install the license to perform the setting of the final opFlow.

/usr/local/opmantek/bin/opfixperms.pl
/usr/local/opmantek/bin/opflow_setup.pl setup=all

Settings when you are finished service to start.

cp /usr/local/opmantek/install/opflowd.init.d /etc/init.d/opflowd
chkconfig opflowd on
service opflowd start

The service is started, the screen of the opFlow is displayed. Because you have not yet received the Flow Record (Flow Records), nothing is displayed.

Trouble Shooting

Trouble at the time of reference here.

Since the warning is also displayed on the top screen, so that the appropriate response while watching it. Service of Flowd is not raised, such as the services of opFlowd it is not up is displayed on the Web screen.
