Figure 6-124. sFlow Sampler Summary Configuring and Viewing sFlow Settings Using CLI Commands For information about the CLI commands that perform this function, see the following chapter in the CLI Reference Guide: • sFlow Commands. sFlow Poll Configuration The sFlow agent collects time-based sampling of network interface statistics and sends them to the configured sFlow receivers. A data source configured to collect counter samples is called a poller. Counter Sampling The primary objective of Counter Sampling is to efficiently, periodically export counters associated with Data Sources. A maximum Sampling Interval is assigned to each sFlow instance associated with a Data Source. Counter Sampling is accomplished as follows: The sFlow Agent keeps a list of counter sources being sampled. When a Packet Flow Sample is generated, the sFlow Agent examines the list and adds counters to the sample datagram, least recently sampled first. Counters are only added to the datagram if the sources are within a short period, i.e. five seconds, of failing to meet the required Sampling Interval. Periodically, i.e. every second, the sFlow Agent examines the list of counter sources and sends any counters that need to be sent to meet the sampling interval requirement. To access the sFlow Poll Configuration page, click System > sFlow > Poll Configuration in the navigation tree. Configuring System Information 251
