Hello, Did you start Logstash with the --setup flag in order to install the Netflow dashboards in Kibana? `bin/logstash --modules netflow --setup -M netflow.var.input.udp.port=NNNN` [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/netflow-module.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/netflow-module.html) ---

You can get netflow data even without the --setup flag, that flag only installs the dashboards. ---

if you run it just once, it should be enough to get the dashboards set up and keep your command running that just ingests the Netflow data. ---

so the command need to run continuously to ingest netflow data.So i stop the command the data shown in the dashboard will be stopped. is there any other way so that netflow data is seen on the dashboard ---

You can keep running the command like you were running it before, as long as it was run at least once with the setup flag. Logstash has to run to ingest data and it has to run at least once with `--setup` for the Netflow module dashboards to be installed. After that, the dashboards are there to stay. ---
