NSX Flow Monitoring impacts In case it turned ON

[amolnjadhav]

Hi All,

   I just want to know any implication or issues if i turned on NSX Live Flow monitoring packet capture for long time..

   Anybody has face the issue in production or aware of such issues?

There was an issue where the flow count can exceed the maximum store value of 2,000,000 records collected over 15 days, this issue was resolved in NSX for vSphere 6.2.4 ("No Flow Records" displayed in NSX Manager flow monitoring (2091376) | VMware KB ). I don't see why this would be a problem. The question is why do you want to have it ON for a long period of time?

HI mhampto

  I agreed with your question.. Why we need to turn ON for long time?

  In our environment many guys have NSX web client access hence i am worried if by mistake it turned on from any of the guy's  for long time then what will be the consciences..

  Hence i asked this question in this community.
