Display Flow Information

Configure the polling interval for flow statistics (Optional)

Command	Description
flow-stats-interval <poll-interval>	Configures the polling interval for flow statistics. poll-interval: 0-3600 0: disables automatic counter polling 1–3600: sets the polling interval in seconds
collect-flow-stats	Immediately triggers the collection of flow statistics upon execution.

pbnoscli# configure terminal  
pbnoscli(config)# flow-stats-interval in
pbnoscli(config)# flow-stats-interval   
  <statpollinterval>    0..3600                                                                                                                              
pbnoscli(config)# flow-stats-interval 0
pbnoscli(config)# exit
pbnoscli# 
pbnoscli# show run | grep flow-stats-interval
flow-stats-interval 0
pbnoscli# 

After running the collect-flow-stats command, the corresponding show commands should be used to view the collected statistics.

pbnoscli# collect-flow-stats
pbnoscli# show flow counters all
pbnoscli# show flow summary

Use the following command to check the rate of data flowing through a flow:

Reference

Command	show flow (all | <flow-name> ) rate
Description	Display flow rate for a flow
Parameters	flow-name - max 20 characters
Mode	EXEC
