+#####
+sFlow
+#####
+
+VyOS supports sFlow accounting for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. The system acts as a flow exporter, and you are free to use it with any compatible collector.
+
+sFlow is a technology that enables monitoring of network traffic by sending sampled packets to a collector device.
+
+The sFlow accounting based on hsflowd https://sflow.net/
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system sflow agent-address <address>
+
+ Configure sFlow agent IPv4 or IPv6 address
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system sflow agent-interface <interface>
+
+ Configure agent IP address associated with this interface.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system sflow drop-monitor-limit <limit>
+
+ Dropped packets reported on DROPMON Netlink channel by Linux kernel are exported via the standard sFlow v5 extension for reporting dropped packets
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system sflow interface <interface>
+
+ Configure and enable collection of flow information for the interface identified by <interface>.
+
+ You can configure multiple interfaces which whould participate in sflow accounting.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system sflow polling <sec>
+
+ Configure schedule counter-polling in seconds (default: 30)
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system sflow sampling-rate <rate>
+
+ Use this command to configure the sampling rate for sFlow accounting (default: 1000)
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set system sflow server <address> port <port>
+
+ Configure address of sFlow collector. sFlow server at <address> can be both listening on an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ set system sflow agent-address '192.0.2.14'
+ set system sflow agent-interface 'eth0'
+ set system sflow drop-monitor-limit '50'
+ set system sflow interface 'eth0'
+ set system sflow interface 'eth1'
+ set system sflow polling '30'
+ set system sflow sampling-rate '1000'
+ set system sflow server 192.0.2.1 port '6343'
+ set system sflow server 203.0.113.23 port '6343'
