Continuous Simulation

Continuous mode uses global.duration: 0s or no positive --duration.

The process runs until SIGTERM or SIGINT. It uses a ticker based on rate_per_second, not a busy loop.

Reference config:

configs/lab/flowcollector-go/continuous-enterprise.yaml

Current lab-safe default:

  • Four exporters: NetFlow v5, NetFlow v9, IPFIX, sFlow v5.
  • Four ticks per second across all exporters.
  • Normal enterprise traffic dominant.
  • Low-weight security scenarios.
  • Metrics on :9130.
