Hi,

I am in the process of migrating from my old nfdump (v1.6.18) and nfsen (v1.3.6p1) installation to the latest available source versions of both tools.

Currently, I have configured the new nfdump installation to export to the old setup via the -R IP/Port option, allowing me to compare the two installations.

However, I am encountering an issue where nfprofile occasionally fails to find the corresponding nfcapd files. The error message looks like this:

local3.error: nfprofile[260982]: stat() error '/data/nfsen/profiles-data/live/device/nfcapd.202409041235': File not found!

The strange part is that the file does exist, but in a different directory:

ll /data/nfsen/profiles-data/live/device/2024/09/04/nfcapd.202409041235
-rw-r--r--. 1 abc www-data 70097028 Sep  4 12:40 /data/nfsen/profiles-data/live/device/2024/09/04/nfcapd.202409041235

From my perspective, it seems that the file is being moved before nfprofile has a chance to access it. This issue occurs randomly and affects all custom profiles.

new installation:

Do you have any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

thank you and BR
