A Flow Monitor group must be created before it can be configured. To create a Flow Monitor group, use the create flowmon group group_name command. The group_name can contain up to 32 characters.
Note
The system will reject any attempt to create a group that already exists.To configure a created group where Flow Monitor sends information, use the configure flowmon group group_name command.
To configure a relationship between a Flow Monitor collector and a group, use the configure flowmon group group_name [add | delete] collector collector_name command.
Only one collector can be added to a group, but the same collector can be added to multiple groups.
Note
The system will reject any attempt to add a collector to a group that already contains a collector. The system will also reject any attempt to delete a collector from a group that was not previously added to the group.To configure a relationship between a Flow Monitor key and a group, use the configure flowmon group group_name [add | delete] key key_name command. While a key is being added to a group, the key cannot be modified.
Flow Monitor creates a template key portion that matches the key. If a different template key portion is related to the group, then the add fails. Otherwise, the template key portion is related to the group.
If the group is already enabled, the key is installed in the hardware. Keys can be added to or deleted from a group regardless of the state of the group.
When a key is to be deleted from a group, the key is disassociated from the key template portion. The key is then disassociated from the group. If the group has no more keys associated with it and the group is disabled, the group is then disassociated from the template key portion.
To delete a Flow Monitor group, use the delete flowmon group group_name command.
An enabled group cannot be deleted and the system will reject any attempt to do so. Groups must be disabled before deleting.
Note
The system will reject any attempt to delete a group that does not already exist.
