Where can I get sample netflow logs ?

[damode]

I am working on a PoC for which I need sample netflow logs. I dont have access to any netflow capable device to generate netflow logs.

Can somebody please advise where can I possibly get sample netflow logs ?

Since its a POC, you can setup a free netflow collector (most support 30 day trial) you can get logs from collector or even with just configuring netflow with any collector IP on any router or switch and do a wireshark capture you can decode flow details, here is an example using wireshark

Hello @damode,

You can explore open-source NetFlow exporters or collectors that generate sample NetFlow logs. For example, nProbe is an open-source NetFlow exporter that can generate simulated NetFlow logs based on network traffic patterns or templates.
