Netflow Nexus 7k showing up with inaccurate utilization!

Hi Thwack,

Has anyone experienced an issue within NTA, where the flow is representing at a much lower value because we are only capturing 1-100 of a sample. As per our Network Guru, we are not able to do 1-1 sampling as the CPU will be over taxed. We are currently only sampling Layer 3 traffic before adding additional Vlans I would like to knw if their is way to possibly change the value in NTA to represent the actual utilization or config changes I can make? For example we show  6.0kbps but this is actually 600Mbs of traffic.
