   Hi @dpicollege,
   You need to have IPFIX/sFlow agent like Juniper or any other software which they export traffic sampling through IPFIX/sFlow. I'll try to put example configuration at docs soon and update here too.
   You can mount local docker host to the container like below to see the log:

   mkdir -p /tmp/vflow/etc /tmp/vflow/log
   echo "log-file: /var/log/vflow/vflow.log" > /tmp/vflow/etc/vflow.conf
   docker run -d -p 4739:4739 -p 6343:6343 -p 8081:8081 -e VFLOW_KAFKA_BROKERS="172.17.0.1:9092" -v /tmp/vflow/etc:/usr/local/vflow/etc:ro -v /tmp/vflow/log:/var/log/vflow:rw -i mehrdadrad/vflow
   tail -f /tmp/vflow/log/vflow.log

   Hi @mehrdadrad !

   Thank you for sharing this project!
   Is there any interface (web, maybe) for output like in nfsen project?
   Can you explain for me (a docker newbe) the docker parameters?

   Regards.

   Lyma

   @lyma there isn't any built in UI but you can get / see the data through the below:
   1- MemSQL (through SQL statement)
   2- Kafka Consumer shell script (kafka-console-consumer.sh)
   3- Through other scripting language like Python

   vFlow has built in monitoring so you can see them through the API or InfluxDB/Grafana

   In regard to docker, you can try as below or above reply.

   docker run -d -p 2181:2181 -p 9092:9092 spotify/kafka
   docker run -d -p 4739:4739 -p 6343:6343 -p 8081:8081 -e VFLOW_KAFKA_BROKERS="172.17.0.1:9092" mehrdadrad/vflow
   

   Please see the Build section, you can compile the vFlow quickly.

   *The Netflow v9 feature still is not exist in docker image as it still works as beta version.
