sFlow Support

Open Gadgetguycj opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

How difficult would it be to add sFlow support? I was looking to implement this as a drop in replacement for nProbe and its ridiculous fee, but our Brocade uses sFlow instead of netflow.

Depends on if you can find a sFlow decoder library for Go? (I haven't honestly looked to see.) Also, sadly I have no devices which generate sFlow so I have no means of testing the code. So that's a major blocker right now.

Hello synfinatic,

Doesn't goflow support sflow? https://github.com/cloudflare/goflow, I'd be happy to help with testing.

oh, so it does. you've got better eyes than i do.

Honestly, I have no way of testing sFlow and that sucks. If you're up for submitting a patch I'd be willing to look at it, but without any means of doing my own testing during development (not to mention having no need for the feature) means it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
