How can I index Netflow logs?

Hi,
I want to send my router's Netflow logs to Splunk.
How can I do that?
I installed Splunk in Linux Centos 7 and installed the Splunk Add-on for NetFlow, but my logs still don't show in Splunk.

Take a look at Splunk Stream - its a far more robust way of collecting the data (and lots more)!

If you install Splunk TA Stream on a Heavy Forwarder you have all the components you need.

From the doc above:
edit

[streamfwd]
netflowReceiver.0.ip = <your hvy fwd ip>
netflowReceiver.0.port = 9995
netflowReceiver.0.decoder = netflow

then configure your network devices to send netflow to <your hvy fwd id> :9995

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!

Depending on the volume of traffic you may want to install the independent stream forwarder...
