Caligare Flow Inspector stamps the flows based on the router time. It is therefore important to ensure that the time on the router is set properly. Netflow collector can handle routers from different time zones automatically, provided the correct time is set.
In case you see this, please ensure the following on the router:
- Check if the correct time is set on your router. You can check this by logging in to the router and typing: show clock. You can set the clock time using the command: clock set hh:mm:ss month date year
- Check if the time zone and the offset (in Hours and Minutes) for the time zone is set properly (i.e. PST -8 00 for PST or EST -5 00 for EST). You can check this by logging in to the router, going into the configure terminal and typing show running-config. You can set the clock time zone and offset using the command: clock timezone zone hours [minutes] (i.e. clock timezone PST -8 00)
- Check if the correct time is set on your collector server. You can check this by logging in to the Linux server and typing: date. You can set the clock time using the command: date MMDDhhmmYY, where MM is a month, DD is a day and YY is a year.
