How is the flgs field derived?

Hi Carter,

The GLORIAD software I have inherited is converting all flags fields into “Netflow”.
This is because the flags field as sent by rabins contains just “N”.
Flags is call just flgs in a netflow record.

The data processing chain I have in place has router(IPFIX) -> nprobe(Netflow9) -> radium (Argus)  -> rabins.
I have looked at the output of nprobe and that seems to be OK.
I use nfcapd and nfdump together to inspect the output of nprobe.

A record output from nprobe looks like:

Flow Record:
  Flags        =              0x06 FLOW, Unsampled
  export sysid =                 1
  size         =                72
  first        =        1461737035 [2016-04-27 06:03:55]
  last         =        1461737035 [2016-04-27 06:03:55]
  msec_first   =               304
  msec_last    =               304
  src addr     =   ***.***.***.***
  dst addr     =   ***.***.***.***
  src port     =             27878
  dst port     =               443
  fwd status   =                 0
  tcp flags    =              0x18 .AP...
  proto        =                 6 TCP
  (src)tos     =                 0
  (in)packets  =                 2
  (in)bytes    =               193
  input        =               824
  output       =               644
  src as       =             10148
  dst as       =             32934

So the question is where have tcp flags gone in the conversion between netflow and Argus records.
Is this expected behaviour??
