Cisco 5510 exporting netflow over a IPSEC VPN

Hi, we have a local Netflow collector working fine. We also have a centralised collector that we’d like to use to send the same Netflow data, but it is not being received. We need to send the data via an IPSEC VPN.

When I do a 'show flow-export counters' I can see the packets sent increasing. The local collector is receive netflow data. I am using the below config, 

Any pointers of what’s going wrong greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(1)

Device Manager Version 6.2(1)

Hardware:   ASA5510, 1024 MB RAM

Is the source interface for NetFlow export the IPSec tunnel? If so, it is a limitation of NetFlow that, when exported over IPSec, self originating NetFlow packets are not exported. The solution is to use Flexible NetFlow (FNF - NetFlow v9) but Cisco ASA currently does not support FNF.

The below link has some details on the bug:

In case anyone else encounters the same issue, turned out we needed to upgrade.

Running Software Version 8.2(5) and all is well.
