The sFlow-RT 3.0 release has a simplified user interface that focusses on metrics needed to manage the performance of the sFlow-RT analytics software and installed applications.
Applications are available that replace features from the previous 2.3 release. The following instructions show how to install sFlow-RT 3.0 along with basic data exploration applications.
On a system with Java 1.8+ installed:
wget https://inmon.com/products/sFlow-RT/sflow-rt.tar.gz
tar -xvzf sflow-rt.tar.gz
./sflow-rt/get-app.sh sflow-rt flow-trend
./sflow-rt/get-app.sh sflow-rt browse-metrics
./sflow-rt/start.sh
On a system with Docker installed:
mkdir app
docker run -v $PWD/app:/sflow-rt/app --entrypoint /sflow-rt/get-app.sh sflow/sflow-rt sflow-rt flow-trend
docker run -v $PWD/app:/sflow-rt/app --entrypoint /sflow-rt/get-app.sh sflow/sflow-rt sflow-rt browse-metrics
docker run -v $PWD/app:/sflow-rt/app -p 6343:6343/udp -p 8008:8008 sflow/sflow-rt
The product user interface can be accessed on port 8008. The
Status page, shown at the top of this article, displays key metrics about the performance of the software.
