In this sample, the Spotfire Streaming Adapter for IPFIX parses inbound IPFIX packets processed by a UDP adapter set to receive data on the standard IPFIX port.
An IPFIX UDP feed must be available for this sample to pull data and parse the IPFIX packets.
This sample includes a full IPFIX Enterprise 0 dictionary file for reference, located
in src/main/resources/BaseDictionary.json. The
dictionary contains all available entities for the base enterprise. A second
dictionary src/main/resources/IPFIXDictionary.json is
also included. It is an example of an actual dictionary file that you should use, as
it uses multiple enterprise values but also takes only some fields from the base.
In StreamBase Studio, import this sample with the following steps:
-
From the top-level menu, select >.
-
Enter
ipfixto narrow the list of options. -
Select IPFIX Parsing from the Network category.
-
Click .
StreamBase Studio creates a single project containing the sample files.
Before running the samples, open the supplied src/main/resources/IPFIXDictionary.json and add, delete, or modify
dictionary enterprise and entities as required for your feed.
-
In the Project Explorer view, open the sample you just loaded.
If you see red marks on a project folder, wait a moment for the project to load its features.
If the red marks do not resolve themselves after a minute, select the project, right-click, and select > from the context menu.

Open the
src/main/eventflow/com/streambase/sb/adapter/ipfixfolder. -

-
In the Output Streams view, look for the IPFIXData, IPFIXDictionary and IPFIXStatus tuples for the selected operation.
-
When done, press F9 or click the
Terminate EventFlow Fragment button.
