Hardware logging NetFlow template packet timeout

Hardware logging NetFlow template packet timeout

You can use the hardware logging option template-tx-timeout to configure how often the hyperscale firewall FortiGate sends NetFlow template updates to the log server. Use the following command to change the NetFlow template timeout:

config log npu-server

config server-info

edit <index>

set template-tx-timeout <timeout>

end

template-tx-timeout the time interval between sending NetFlow template packets. NetFlow template packets communicate the format of the NetFlow messages sent by the FortiGate to the NetFlow server. Since the message format can change if the NetFlow configuration changes, the FortiGate sends template updates at regular intervals to make sure the server can correctly interpret NetFlow messages. The timeout range is from 60 to 86,400 seconds. The default timeout is 600 seconds.
