Enable Google Cloud Flow Logs support in Configuration Center > FMC Configuration > Google Cloud Flow Logs. The system downloads logs periodically, converts them to IPFIX format, and sends them to your specified local collector port. This table shows the mapping between Google Cloud Flow Logs fields and IPFIX fields. Any fields not listed here are not mapped.
| Field | Maps to, in IPFIX |
|---|---|
| connection.src_ip | IPFIX_SourceIPv4Address IPFIX_SourceIPv6Address |
| connection.dest_ip | IPFIX_DestinationIPv4Address IPFIX_DestinationIPv6Address |
| connection.src_port | IPFIX_SourceTransportPort |
| connection.dest_port | IPFIX_DestinationTransportPort |
| connection.protocol | IPFIX_protocolIdentifier |
| packets_sent | IPFIX_packetTotalCount |
| bytes_sent | IPFIX_octetTotalCount |
| start_time | IPFIX_flowStartMilliseconds |
| end_time | IPFIX_flowEndMilliseconds |
| src_vpc.project_id | No mapping, replaced by a generated value for IPFIX_exporterIPv4Address |
