Have been trying to ingest Netflow Data from a Fortigate Firewall through Filebeat, but upon running filebeat -e gets me to the following warning -

netflow/input.go:240 Error parsing NetFlow packet of length 220 from 192.168.1.10:4216: netflow protocol version 0 not supported

Below excerpt from my config file -

- module: netflow  
log:  
enabled: true  
var:  
netflow\_host: 192.168.0.154  
netflow\_port: 2055  
protocols: [v9]

Hi @w33ha-zxc, welcome to the Elastic community forums!

I see you already created a GitHub issue for this — [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/15532](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/15532) — which is great!

The flow sent out was for sflow and not netflow.

Configuring it to Netflow fixed the issue.

Thanks.
