Logstash for IPFIX

Logstash for IPFIX (Netflow V10) is on the way but in the meantime i've been able to get it working thus:

Nprobe I know, nprobe is commercial but i had it lying around so chose to use it. It can output in a variety of ways but in the base license model only zeromq and tcp methods allow direct output to logstash. My experience with zeromq was initially good but after a reinstall i couldn't get it working again, something wrong with the encoding or compression or something meant that logstash was seeing the data as garbage.

Switching to tcp output in json format got it working in the end so this is the nprobe config file:

# cat /etc/nprobe/nprobe-eth0.conf
-i none 
--collector-port 2100 
#--json-labels
#--zmq tcp://*:5000 
--tcp localhost:5000
-V10
-g=/var/run/nprobe-eth0.pid

And the nprobe init files:

touch /etc/nprobe/nprobe-eth0.start
