Netflow is not reporting correctly

All,

I have NTA 3.9.0. We are running netflow version 5 and are exporting ingress flows. I am having an issue where the Netflow graphs are in no way matching the SNMP data for a circuit. For instance on an OC-3 I will see periods of little flow data and then huge spikes up to 1.2Gb/sec of data. This happens on all Netflow enabled interfaces. SNMP shows the correct bandwidth never getting higher than the 155Mb/sec physical capacity. Do you know what could be causing this? Is this a bug in 3.9.0 or issues with the database etc...?

SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: NetFlow Interface resource(s) show utilization peaks higher than NPM utilization or higher than the interface bandwidth

Most probably you don't have active timeout set to one minute on your devices.
