Info

An update to NetFlow Scrutinizer integration authentication to accept tokens instead of user name and passwords was addressed in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3. Only NetFlow Scrutinizer versions 16.7 and later support tokens. While using the netflow.username and netflo w netflow.password options still are available for previous version support, that version of Uptime Infrastructure Monitor UIM includes netflow.token to support the new authentication method. 

NetFlow installation best practices


  1. Install Scrutinizer (NetFlow) on a different machine than Uptime Infrastructure Monitor.
  2. Once you run the installer, make sure you right click and run as administrator.

Generate a token to use with NetFlow Scrutinizer 16.7 and later

Go to Admin > Security > Authentication Tokens to create your token.

Integrating a Scrutinizer instance with UIM

There are two points of Scrutinizer integration within Uptime Infrastructure Monitor:

...

  1. Access the Config tab in the Monitoring Station web interface.
  2. Click Uptime Configuration to display the configuration panel.
  3. Add the following entries to the text box:
    • netflow.enabled=true
    • netflow.hostname=[NetFlowHost]
      The host name or IP address of your UIM installation.
    • netflow.port=[NetFlowPort]
      The HTTP port through which Scrutinizer sends and receives communication.
    • netflow.username=[NetFlowAdmin]
      The user name required to log in to Scrutinizer.
    • netflow.password=[NetFlowPassword]
      The password required to log in to Scrutinizer.
  4. Click Update.

For example (can be cut and pasted in the the Uptime text box and updated with the correct values):

  • netflow.enabled=true
  • netflow.hostname=1.2.3.4
  • netflow.password=admin
  • netflow.port=80
  • netflow.username=admin


Info

SPECIAL NOTICE

Scrutinizer/Netflow v15.8 has a graphing bug. There are two ways to fix this issue:

  1. Upgrade to Scrutinizer v16.1 available on the download page.
  2. If upgrading is not an option, the search.html file can be downloaded and installed for the URL passing to work with Firefox and IE.
    User will need to replace the search.html in [HOME]\Scrutinizer\html\ with the version attached where home is the directory that Scrutinizer was installed.
