slowtflowd does not start

SGMC

By the look of it softflowd does not start collection automatically

$ cat config-20211019082723.xml | grep -A 20 "<softflowd>"

However

@sgmc is softflowd not starting? or does it start, then stop?

softflowd on my netgate router hasn't run properly or exported flows since May 2021. I expect it's due to this issue:
