NetFlow Template DB
NetFlow input (NetFlow v9, IPFIX, JFlow, NetStream).
NetFlow v9, IPFIX, JFlow and NetStream use template records. A router sends these special records to describe the metrics contained in its normal flow records. Viewing the template records helps you troubleshoot NetFlow.
This menu shows the NetFlow/IPFIX template database received by all probes.
