monitoring of switches.

Details:
agent
: optional string
Determines the agent address, that is, the IP address
reported to collectors as the source of the sFlow data. It
may be an IP address or the name of a network device. In
the latter case, the network device's IP address is used,
If not specified, the agent device is figured from the
first target address and the routing table. If the routing
table does not contain a route to the target, the IP
address defaults to the local_ip
in the collector's
Controller
.
If an agent IP address cannot be determined, sFlow is
disabled.
header
: optional integer
Number of bytes of a sampled packet to send to the
collector. If not specified, the default is 128 bytes.
polling
: optional integer
Polling rate in seconds to send port statistics to the
collector. If not specified, defaults to 30 seconds.
sampling
: optional integer
Rate at which packets should be sampled and sent to the
collector. If not specified, defaults to 400, which means
one out of 400 packets, on average, will be sent to the
collector.
targets
: set of 1 or more strings
sFlow targets in the form ip:
port.
