FlowMon Installation instructions
=================================

1. Edit the config.py file to your liking:

 PORTNO   = Listening Port of the flow-collector

 SPOOLDIR = Temporary spooldirectory of collected data before it is written
            into the database

 LOGFILE_ = Location of the logfiles written by each tool

 DATABASE = 'mysql' or 'postgresql', choose one.
            Note: Right now, MySQL is better tested

 DB_      = Database credentials

 routers  = Python Dictionary of routers we accept flows from.
            Syntax is: "'ip.add.re.ss' : 'flowprotocol',"


2. Create a Database e.g. flowstorage:

 mysqladmin create flowstorage

3. Grant access to the user specified in config.py:

 echo "GRANT ALL ON flowstorage.* TO 'flowmon'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'flowmon';" | mysql

4. Create the DB schema:

 cat mysql.sql | mysql flowstorage

5. Edit the initscripts and set the correct path in the $exec variable.

6. Copy the initscripts to your initrd-dir and add them to the system-startup if so desired.

7. Create the Spooldir, e.g. /var/spool/flowmon

7. Copy the flowmon-web directory to your webroot, make sure tmp/ is writable by your apache.

8. Edit config.inc.php to contain the correct database credentials.

9. Configure your router to export to the installed flow-collector

10. Edit crontab to run the cleanup.sh script at least once a day:

 "30 0 0 0 0		cleanup.sh"

11. Hopefully done.
