Netflow from unmanaged port on Nexus 1000

I have added my Nexus 1000 into the Orion Database and am able to see it in NPM. In NTA I am getting an error message saying Netflow is being received from an unmanaged source on the switch. The source that it gives is a 9 digit number that seems to changed every 20 seconds or so. In the configuration of the switch I have the flow-export source set to the same address as the one being used by NPM. Anyone seen this before?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but Orion needs to be monitoring each Physical and/or virtual (SVI) interface that you have configured to export Netflow information for. For example, each interface that has " ip flow ingress" configured. Could this be your problem?

The 1000v has very spefic steps to properly configure NetFlow. I did this in the beta program - it was a bit convoluted but worked in the end. I think the only supported exporting IF is mgmt0 or something like that.
