Usage Guidelines
Flow monitors are the Flexible NetFlow component that is applied to interfaces to perform network traffic
monitoring. Flow monitors consist of a flow record and a cache. You add the record to the flow monitor after
you create the flow monitor. The flow monitor cache is automatically created at the time the flow monitor is
applied to the first interface. Flow data is collected from the network traffic during the monitoring process
based on the key and nonkey fields in the flow monitor's record and stored in the flow monitor cache.
Examples The following example creates a flow monitor named FLOW-MONITOR-1 and enters flow monitor
configuration mode:
Device(config)# flow monitor FLOW-MONITOR-1
Device(config-flow-monitor)#
Name of the flow monitor that is being created or modified.
