[ovs-discuss] sFlow agent error: sfl_agent_error: receiver: flow sample too big for datagram

[Oliver Dzombic]

Hi Folks,

when we have high rates of packets per second sflow will not export this
traffic to the collector.

Inside of ovs-vswitchd.log we can see tons of entries like:

2019-12-09T18:15:04.739Z|30436|sflow(handler17)|WARN|sFlow agent error:
sfl_agent_error: receiver: flow sample too big for datagram


Our configuration:


ovs-vsctl -- --id=@sflow create sflow agent=127.0.0.1
target="\"127.0.0.1:6343\"" header=1518 sampling=500 polling=1 -- set
bridge ovsbridge sflow=@sflow


How can we improve this ? We would like to receive all traffic at the
collector, no matter how many packets or what packetsize will come in.

Any help / hint / idea is greatly appriciated.

Thank you !
