CSS11506 - show flows

Hello all,

I have a CSS11506 with the following config...

I can access my servers just fine, but when issuing the 'show flows' command, I do not see my traffic... even though I can see my hit counters incrementing.

NOTE: The 'application ssl' command is something new for us, so I thought it may be related to this.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Try

llama

flow-agent show active_fcbs

exit

Or a

show flows 0.0.0.0

Gilles,

Still not seeing the flows.

Anything else you could recommend? Could the 'application ssl' config have anything to do with this behavior?

Thanks,

if you do not see any flow, there is no active flows !!

The flow-agent command does look at HW level for connections. If it does not return anything, it means there is no ACTIVE flow.

Gilles,

The target IP is the content VIP 123.123.130.222 (as shown in my CSS config). However, I am testing from one of the four servers (services) associated with this content rule. Could that be causing the problem with the CSS not seeing these flows?

For example...

I am sitting on server uswrnsa0ptf01 and I test to the content VIP 123.123.130.222... and it works... but I see know flows in the CSS.

I've attached a drawing showing our network topology.

Thanks,

-Adam

try to open a telnet session to your VIP IP:PORT.

Do not close the telnet session and check with a 'show flows 0.0.0.0' if you see any flow.

It should not matter if you open the connection from the server or not.
