Introduction​

NetFlow Optimizer (NFO) software consists of the following components:

  • NFO Server
  • NFO Controller
  • External Data Feeder for NFO (EDFN)

Each component keeps track of its activity by logging to various files.

NFO Server and NFO Controller​

These components log their activity in $NFO_HOME/logs (NFO_HOME default is /opt/flowintegrator). You can also see their health on the Status page. This page shows input / output statistics, length of various queues, and drop counts.

The NFO internal log files are rolled based on size. Ten last files are kept in $NFO_HOME/logs/bak directory. You can change the default log rotation size and the number of “bak” files to keep by editing $NFO_HOME/server/etc/server.cfg.

You can download logs from NFO by going to Tracing and Configuration on the left navigation bar, and clicking on Download logs button.

External Data Feeder for NFO logs​

EDFN logs its activity in $EDFN_HOME/logs (EDFN_HOME default is /opt/nfi-updater).
