Opened: Jan 05, 2016
Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Flow reports are missing for some of the flows.

Impact

If you are using flow reports to track the data usage of the subscriber, the usage will not be accurate.

Conditions

Flow reporting action has been configured with no classification filter. This was observed for flows that remained unclassified until the very end.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

For flows that do not get classified at all, the system now sends out flow reports at the end of the flow. The FLOW_INIT and FLOW_END reports are sent out in this case (that is, there are no FLOW_INTERIM reports). This is correct behavior
