Options

Timeout Due to Inactivity

seconds
How long to wait to send a set of sampled flows to a collector for a flow on which no traffic is flowing. If you configure this time and later modify it, the changes take effect only on flows that are created after the configuration change has been propagated to the vEdge router. Because an existing flow continues indefinitely, to have configuration changes take effect, clear the flow with the clear app cflowd flows command.
Range: 1 through 3600 seconds
Default: 60 seconds (1 minute)
