As promised on my last Talk in London, i’ve finally outdone myself with our newest piece of code called:
The project aims to provide an extensible flow collector written in Scala, using Netty as IO Framework as well as Akka as Messaging Framework.
Supported flow-types
- NetFlow v5 - fully
- NetFlow v9 (RFC3954) - almost fully
- NetFlow IPFIX/v10 (RFC3917, RFC3955) - untested due to the lack of an exporter
Database support
Currently only the Redis Key-Value-Store is supported, but it is not much code (~100 lines) to adapt it to any other Key-Value-Store.
The goodies
At the end of the day, you’ll need our utility library wasted-util installed in your local sbt repository, since it’s not mirrored on any Ivy repository yet. :)
Also, you’ll find my very own NetFlow Parsers in the package licensed under the Apache License! So feel free to do amazing stuff with it :)
What’s coming next?
- NetFlow v1
- NetFlow v6
- NetFlow v7
- NetFlow v9 and v10/IPFIX Sampling and Option flows
- SFlow support
- Cassandra storage support
