Starting and Shutting Down
Once you have successfully installed NetFlow Analyzer, start the NetFlow
Analyzer server by following the steps below.
Starting NetFlow Analyzer
Windows:
Click on Start > Programs > ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer
> NetFlow Analyzer to start the server.
Alternatively
you can navigate to the <NetFlowAnalyzer_Home>\bin folder
and invoke the run.bat file.
Linux:
Navigate to the <NetFlow Home>/bin directory and execute
the run.sh file.
When the server is started, a command prompt window opens up showing
startup information on several modules of NetFlow Analyzer. Once all the
modules have been successfully created, the following message is displayed:
Server started.
Please connect your client at
http://localhost:8080
where 8080 is replaced by the port you have specified as the web
server port during installation.
Starting

Windows:
If you have chosen the Start as Service option during
installation, NetFlow Analyzer will run as a service on Windows.
Linux:
- Login as root user.
- Navigate to the <NetFlowAnalyzer_Home>\bin directory.
- Execute the linkAsService.sh file
- Then execute the command /etc/init.d/netflowanalyzer
start
This starts NetFlow Analyzer as a service on Linux.
As far as Fedora / SUSE is concerned, please open the mysql-ds.xml file under the server\default\deploy directory and change the
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:13310/netflow
</connection-url> to
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:13310/netflow
</connection-url>
and restart the NetFlow Analyzer server.
Please follow the instructions below,
- Navigate to
/bin folder and backup (copy) linkAsService.sh to a safe location.
- Open file linkAsService.sh in a editor and look for the following lines,
[code:1:f5099fc2e0]for i in {0,6}
do
ln -s -f $initvar /etc/rc$i.d/$stopwith
done
ln -s -f $initvar /etc/rc5.d/$startwith[/code:1:f5099fc2e0]
- Edit the above lines as follows, suffixing rc.d folder after /etc/ folder,
[code:1:f5099fc2e0]for i in {0,6}
do
ln -s -f $initvar /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d/$stopwith
done
ln -s -f $initvar /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/$startwith
[/code:1:f5099fc2e0]
