IPFIXCOL2-FDS-INPUT(7)	      IPFIXcol collector	IPFIXCOL2-FDS-INPUT(7)

NAME
       ipfixcol2-fds-input - FDS File (input plugin)

DESCRIPTION
       The  plugin  reads flow data from one or	more files in FDS File format.
       It is possible to use it	to load	flow records previously	 stored	 using
       FDS output plugin.

       Unlike  UDP  and	TCP input plugins which	infinitely waits for data from
       NetFlow/IPFIX exporters,	the plugin will	terminate the collector	 after
       all files are processed.

EXAMPLE	CONFIGURATION
	  <input>
	      <name>FDS	File</name>
	      <plugin>fds</plugin>
	      <params>
		  <path>/tmp/flow/file.ipfix</path>
	      </params>
	  </input>

PARAMETERS
       path   Path  to file(s) in IPFIX	File format. It	is possible to use as-
	      terisk instead of	a filename/directory,  tilde  character	 (i.e.
	      "~")  instead  of	 the home directory of the user, and brace ex-
	      pressions	(i.e. "/tmp/{source1,source2}/file.ipfix").   Directo-
	      ries  and	 non-IPFIX  Files  that	 match	the  file  pattern are
	      skipped/ignored.

       msgSize
	      Maximum size of the internally generated IPFIX Messages to which
	      the content of the file is inserted. [default: 32768, min: 512]

       asyncIO
	      Allows to	use asynchronous I/O for  reading  the	file.  Usually
	      when parts of the	file are being read, the process is blocked on
	      synchronous  I/O	and  waits for the operation to	complete. How-
	      ever, asynchronous I/O allows the	plugin to simultaneously  read
	      the  file	and process flow records, which	significantly improves
	      overall performance. (Note: a pool  of  service  threads	shared
	      among  instances	of  FDS	 plugin	 might	be created).  [values:
	      true/false, default: true]
