User’s Guide – version 3.1.3 NetFlow Tracker 80 Toensure that NetFlow Tracker receives enough information from the device you must
ensure that the “Look Community String” configured in the “SNMP” page is one of
those set up in SNMP Settings,and you must set “Packeteer-0 Packe ts” to “on” in the
“system variables” page.
If you have a recent version of PacketWise, you may have ex tra settings on the “system
variables” page that should be changed. If available, “Intermediate FDR” should be set
to “on”, “Intermediate FDR Timeout “ to 30000 milli seconds, and “Reset Packeteer
1/2 counters” to “on”. If these settings are not availab le then the PacketShaper will
describe all of the traffic for a long-lived flow in one record, and NetFlow Tracker will
account for it all in the minute during which the flow end ed. This will lead to large
spikes in charts for the device.
