If NFO is installed in your data center you have a choice:
EDFN is installed with NFO. Use this choice if you want to collect and enrich *flows from your routers, switches, and firewalls in your data center, in addition to collecting VPC Flow logs
Install EDFN in AWS or GCP environment. Use this option if want to collect only VPC Flow logs
EDFN installed with NFO connects to NFO automatically.
If you install EDFN separately from NFO (e.g. on an EC2 instance in one of your AWS accounts or GCP VM instance in your Google Cloud), visit: https://docs.netflowlogic.com/netflow_optimizer/external-data-feeder-for-nfo-installation-guide.
Change uri parameter in updater.properties file located in /opt/nfi-updater/conf to IP address of NetFlow Optimizer. See https://docs.netflowlogic.com/netflow_optimizer/external-data-feeder-for-nfo-installation-guide/installing-external-data-feeder-for-nfo for details.
One EDFN instance could be configured to ingest VPC Flow logs from multiple accounts / VPCs /S3 buckets.
