Link: https://www.routexp.com/2019/11/introduction-to-flexible-netflow.html Flow monitors are the Flexible NetFlow component that is applied to interfaces to perform network traffic monitoring. Flow monitors consist of a record and a cache. You add the record to the flow monitor after you create the flow monitor. The flow monitor cache is automatically created at the time the flow monitor is applied to the first interface. Flow data is collected from the network traffic during the monitoring process based on the key and nonkey fields in the record, which is configured for the flow monitor and stored in the flow monitor cache.

D - Flow Monitor is correct https://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1730890

D. Flow monitor is the correct answer

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750x_3560x/software/release/15-2_2_e/flexible_netflow/configuration_guide/b_fnf_1522e_3750x_3560x_cg/b_fnf_1522e_3750x_3560x_cg_chapter_010.pdf In Flexible NetFlow a combination of key and nonkey fields is called a record. Flexible NetFlow records are assigned to Flexible NetFlow flow monitors to define the cache that is used for storing flow data.

It's D. I Just confirmed on my Cisco Guides. The Cisco component that creates the flow monitor cache is the Flow Monitor. Flow monitors are used to monitor network traffic and collect data about flows. A flow is a series of packets that share a common set of characteristics, such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. The flow monitor cache stores data about the flows that are being monitored. This data can be used to troubleshoot network problems, analyze traffic patterns, and generate reports.

Im think is A Check this https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/fnetflow/configuration/15-mt/fnf-15-mt-book/cfg-de-fnflow-exprts.html Flow Exporters Flow exporters are created as separate components in a router's configuration. Exporters are assigned to flow monitors to export the data from the flow monitor cache to a remote system such as a NetFlow collector. Flow monitors can support more than one exporter. Each exporter can be customized to meet the requirements of the flow monitor or monitors in which it is used and the NetFlow collector systems to which it is exporting data.

Accurate answer Flow monitor

from the info here: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/fnetflow/configuration/15-mt/fnf-15-mt-book/cfg-de-fnflow-exprts.html sounds like flow monitor creates the cache. The flow exporter just sends the data in the cache to the netflow collector.

the question is around. why is A question itself asking what creates the flow monitor CACHE and it can be used to collect traffic based key and nonkey. key and nokey = records. then who used to collect and export the record? therefore exporter is corrrect.

I prefer finally D

I am not sure A or D

B, Records for sure.

D: Flow monitor

Agree with flox - I will go for D. Flow monitor

Flow monitors are the Flexible NetFlow component that is applied to interfaces to perform network traffic monitoring. Flow monitors consist of a record and a cache. You add the record to the flow monitor after you create the flow monitor. The flow monitor cache is automatically created at the time the flow monitor is applied to the first interface. Flow data is collected from the network traffic during the monitoring process based on the key and nonkey fields in the record, which is configured for the flow monitor and stored in the flow monitor cache.

D for me is correct
