Description

Jan 26 20:56:32 pfflowd⁴⁰⁹⁹⁵: pfflowd listening on pfsync0
Jan 26 20:56:32 kernel: pfsync0: promiscuous mode enabled
Jan 26 20:56:34 pfflowd⁴⁰⁹⁹⁵: Unsupported pfsync version 5, exiting

I was kind of expecting pfflowd to work after this 2.2 upgrade.

Hello

First, many big thanks to team and contributors who build and maintain pfSense.

It happens that pfflowd is still broken after upgrading pfSense to 2.2.1.
Same package version for pfflowd : 0.8 pkg v1.0.2, including after re-install.
I checked and no flow packet is received at collector side. It did work fine up to 2.1.5.

Surprisingly, pfflowd doesn't crash immediately, but 5 or 6 minutes after (re)starting the service.

From Status\System Log :

Mar 20 23:30:02 - pfflowd[29286]: pfflowd listening on pfsync0
Mar 20 23:30:02 - kernel: pfsync0: promiscuous mode disabled
Mar 20 23:30:02 - kernel: pfsync0: promiscuous mode enabled
Mar 20 23:36:49 - pfflowd[29286]: Unsupported pfsync version 5, exiting

Hope this will be resolved soon, for now I will stick to 2.1 to continue to have a look at traffic from netflow collector.

Hello

as advised in the forum : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=88441.0
I have uninstalled pfflowd package and switched to softflowd.
This has solved the issue, data appears back on the netflow collector.

Opening this back up. Though pfflowd does not complain about the pfsync version, it does not produce any data.

given some period of time, it also goes nuts and starts logging like mad, to the extent its logging generates over 6 MB/sec of disk writes.
