Enable Intermediate FDRs

By default, PacketWise emits flow detail records at the end of a flow. To change this behavior so that PacketWise emits flow detail records at a set interval (optional), you need to enable the intermediate FDR feature.

To configure intermediate FDRs using the browser interface, do the following:

1. Click the setup tab.
2. From the Choose Setup Page list, choose system variables.
3. In the Flow Detail Records (FDR) section, change the Intermediate FDR setting from off (default) to on.
4. For the Intermediate FDR Timeout variable, specify the number of milliseconds between the emission of intermediate FDRs. The default is 15000 milliseconds.
5. To commit the changed settings, scroll to the top of the page and click apply changes (a unit reset is not required).
