Netflow reports Error: NetFlowService inaccessible after server move

We recently did a server move of Orion NPM and NTA (database and website on same server)

After the move Netflow is now reporting "Error: NetFlowService inaccessible. Verify that service is 'Started'." but everything seems to be working fine and netflow data is coming in to Orion as expected.

Last Traffic Analyzer Events shows this:

NetFlow Receiver Service [OSYS-SC2] started - listening on port(s) [2055]

So this is not a critical error, i would just like to know if i somehow can get rid of the error message as everything appears to be working fine.

Check the NTA website, you should also see NetFlow appears to be down in NetFlow services list.

This is probably caused by different hostname of server where you moved. Please run repair on NTA (run installation file - select repair) that should solve the situation.

If not, please leave a message here..

Hi,

I have same problem after upgrading the NPM and NTA. Unfortunately, i also had to change the computer name. All the netflow services seems to be up using orion service manager and task manager. I have tried to restart both services and machine countless times without progress. I will sincerely appreciate any assistance here.I also ran the NTA installation file again for repair with no solution.
