$OpenBSD: README-main,v 1.2 2011/06/02 13:41:40 ajacoutot Exp $ +----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running ${FULLPKGNAME} on OpenBSD +----------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic installation ================== To proceed with an installation or upgrade, adjust ${SYSCONFDIR}/nfsen.conf as required and run the configuration tool: # install-nfsen.pl ${SYSCONFDIR}/nfsen.conf This will read the configuration file, create directories and files as needed, and handle upgrades from previous versions. It is highly advisable to read the documentation available at http://nfsen.sourceforge.net/ Note, you may export netflow-compatible data from PF via pflow(4). Chroot considerations ===================== NfSen is written with chroot in mind and is capable of communicating with the main nfcap daemon running outside the jail. Adapting to this configuration is a simple matter of moving a few files around (while the daemon is stopped). # mkdir -p /var/www/var/db # mv /var/db/nfsen /var/www/var/db/nfsen # ln -s /var/www/var/db/nfsen /var/db/nfsen PortTracker =========== This optional module splits up traffic by port number. It can be useful but is somewhat experimental. You can attempt to use it like this: - uncomment the sample PortTracker entry from the plugin section in the sample ${SYSCONFDIR}/nfsen.conf - start nftrack: # sudo -u _nfcapd nftrack -I -d /var/db/nfsen/ports-db/ - restart nfsen # /etc/rc.d/nfsen reload After the next processing interval, PortTracker should generate data and graphs. If you have problems then examine system logs (you may need to increase logging levels).
