Angela,

Here is the output of "ps -ef | grep silk"

/usr/local/sbin/rwflowpack
--sensor-configuration=/etc/nsm/NW-SEC-06-eth0/sensors.conf
--site-config-file=/etc/nsm/NW-SEC-06-eth0/silk.conf
--archive-directory=/nsm/sensor_data/NW-SEC-06-eth0/sil /archive
--output-mode=local-storage
--root-directory=/nsm/sensor_data/NW-SEC-06-eth0/silk/
--pidfile=/var/log/rwflowpack.pid --log-level=info
--log-directory=/var/log --log-basename=rwflowpack

Let be known that silk is configured on "security Onion platform".
Here is the sensors.conf (few first lines)

probe S0 netflow-v9
  listen-on-port 2055
  protocol udp
  quirks zero-packets

So, I'm not allowing YAF to talk to rwflowpack by allowing port 18001
in this case. Hope this answer your question?
