Has anyone been able to capture flows from the new vcenter distributed switch in vSphere 5? I can add the hosts and the vcenter as a source, but never receive any flows.
Are you be able to see the flows on Orion NTA port 2055 ?
run wireshark to see if flows hitting to Orion from switch source . you need to add Vcenter switch as a node in Orion NPM to recognize the flow from source .
I would like to get this to work also. Did you have any luck making it work?
A packet captur off the NTA server would be golden.
NTA is showing the following error when I add a vm to the distributed switch.
" NetFlow Receiver Service [ORIONSERVER] is receiving a NetFlow data stream from an unmanaged interface on vcenter. The NetFlow data stream will be discarded. Please use Orion Node Management to manage interface '#131' in order to process this NetFlow data stream, or just use Edit this device."
I have setup the distributed switch so the traffic appears to come from the vCenter server instead of coming from each vSphere server individually. How do I add interface #131 to NPM so I can monitor it with NTA?
I'm seeing exactly the same problem here with the same configuration.
Has there been any update as to why/how this should work from Support/PM direct?
Good news, if you look at the "What we are working on" post for NTA and other recent product blog posts, you will see this is something we are actively working on. We should be in RC very soon and I will make sure everyone on this thread who has active maintenance is in the first group of people invited to the RC.
