Multiple Netflow Collectors - Is it possible?

Hello,

 

I am exploring ways to improve our network assurance initiatives. We have two NetFlow collectors in our Azure environment for redundancy, and I'd like to try and point NetFlow samples to both of them. Is it possible to configure multiple NetFlow collectors in the Meraki dashboard? If so, can somebody guide me through that process?

I'm not sure about multiple collectors but this will get you headed in the right direction.

Seems like it's only going to allow for one instance.

NetFlow is supported on the MX/Z platforms and can be read about here.

NetFlow is also supported on a subset of MS switches. Please refer to
this documentation for more information.

There are solutions like "UDP-Multiplexers". I've been using them e.g. with customers implementing Secure Network Analytics. Simply switch over to their Flow Replicator that forwards Netflow to different destinations.

 

Something like https://github.com/thomseddon/udp-replicator would even be a very sleek solution - and Open Source too.
