Because of timing issues with the arriving Netflow data the scanning interval of the Sensor Factory should be higher than the scanning interval of the Netflow sensors.

E.g. you are collecting Netflow data with an interval of 60 seconds a Sensor Factory sensor which references this Netflow sensors should be configured with a scanning interval of 2 minutes.

Sometimes a shorter interval of the Sensor Factory is possible, we tested a interval of 60 seconds in the Netflow sensors an a 70 second interval in the Sensor Factory with no resulting gaps.
