Hi,

my conf file for logstash looks like:

```
input {
  udp {
    port => 9995
    codec => netflow {
      versions => [5, 9]
    }
    type => netflow
    tags => "port_9995"
  }
}
output {
    if "port_9995" in [tags] {
    elasticsearch {
        hosts => "localhost:9200"
        index => "netflowtest"
    }
  }
}

```

Via tshark i can see that netflow data are coming to my host. But in logs i can see:

> [2019-06-19T14:22:41,063][WARN][logstash.codecs.netflow] Can't (yet) decode flowset id 256 from source id 0, because no template to decode it with has been received. This message will usually go away after 1 minute.  
> [2019-06-19T14:22:41,066][WARN][logstash.codecs.netflow] Unsupported field in template 256 {:type=\>88, :length=\>2}  
> [2019-06-19T14:22:43,059][WARN][logstash.codecs.netflow] Can't (yet) decode flowset id 256 from source id 0, because no template to decode it with has been received. This message will usually go away after 1 minute.

Plugin is in version logstash-codec-netflow (3.14.1)

I went through a lot of comments to this topic, but nothing helps me.

Thanks

Hi, this needs to be fixed on the device level or in the logstash? Thanks

Does the warning go away after a couple of minutes or does it persist?

Problem solved:

> 2019-06-19T14:22:41,066][WARN][logstash.codecs.netflow] Unsupported field in template 256 {:type=\>88, :length=\>2}

88 filed was missing in netflow.yaml
