IPFIXCOL2-FORWARDER-OUTPUT(7) IPFIXcol collector IPFIXCOL2-FORWARDER-OUTPUT(7) NAME ipfixcol2-forwarder-output - Forwarder (output plugin) DESCRIPTION This plugin allows forwarding incoming flow records in IPFIX form to other collector in various modes. It can be used to broadcast messages to multiple collectors (e.g. a main and a backup collector), or to distribute messages across multiple collec- tors (e.g. for load balancing). EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION <output> <name>Forwarder</name> <plugin>forwarder</plugin> <params> <mode>roundrobin</mode> <protocol>tcp</protocol> <hosts> <host> <name>Subcollector 1</name> <address>192.168.1.2</address> <port>4739</port> </host> <host> <name>Subcollector 2</name> <address>192.168.1.3</address> <port>4739</port> </host> <host> <name>Subcollector 3</name> <address>localhost</address> <port>4739</port> </host> </hosts> </params> </output> PARAMETERS mode Flow distribution mode. RoundRobin (each record will be delivered to one of hosts) or All (each record will be delivered to all hosts). [values: RoundRobin/All] protocol The transport protocol to use. [values: TCP/UDP] templatesResendSecs Send templates again every N seconds (UDP only). [value: number of seconds, default: 600, 0 = never] templatesResendPkts Send templates again every N packets (UDP only). [value: number of packets, default: 5000, 0 = never] reconnectSecs Attempt to reconnect every N seconds in case the connection drops (TCP only). [value: number of seconds, default: 10, 0 = don't wait] premadeConnections Keep N connections open with each host so there is no delay in con- necting once a connection is needed. [value: number of connections, default: 5] hosts The receiving hosts. host name Optional identification of the host. [value: string, default: <address>:<port>] address The address of the host. [value: IPv4/IPv6 address or a hostname] port The port to connect to. [value: port number] KNOWN LIMITATIONS Export time of IPFIX messages is set to the current time when forwarding. This may cause issues with data fields using deltaTime relative to the ex- port time!
