    Hello,

    I am trying to configure softflowd. I know we can specify one collector/host IP address to where we want to send out netflow but is there any way we can send our netflow to two collector/host ip. I mean we can specify two IP address as host ? Even using command line shell from pfsense or any other workaround ? 92a4f616-8c9e-4a9f-b396-22c6c4d56ea4-image.png

          So do I have to edit this on any file or just run like a command ?

          If I have to make modification on file then which file would it be ? directory location for that ?

            You can try to put 2 IPs in that field, separated by comma.

              Thanks for the suggestion but after editing that file It stays there until I reboot the firewall. Once reboot its goes to just only one IP:PORT. Is there any way to make it permanent across the reboots of the FW ?

                This is expected.

                I would open a redmine ticket requesting this option (second IP:port) to be added to the package.
                By doing this request, you don't need to worry about future updates overwriting your changes.
