Abstract
A device may receive a packet associated with a flow and may assign a flow identifier to the flow. The device may generate a first flow record based on a first template. The first flow record may include the flow identifier and a first quantity of fields determined based on the first template. The device may export the first flow record. The device may generate a second flow record, including the flow identifier, based on a second template and after exporting the first flow record.
