Migrating Release 22.9 or later flow-data collection to an NSP cluster

Migration synopsis

Release 24.4 and earlier NSP Flow Collectors and Flow Collector Controllers are hosted on stations outside the NSP cluster. In later releases, flow data collection is containerized, so is configured, hosted, and controlled by an NSP cluster.

In order to retain the existing flow collection capability in an NSP deployment being upgraded from Release 24.4 or earlier, you must perform a migration of the flow collection configuration to the NSP cluster, as described in To migrate Release 22.9 or later NSP Flow Collectors and Flow Collector Controllers to an NSP cluster.

Note: Each Flow Collector and Flow Collector Controller must be at the same release before you attempt a migration to the NSP cluster.

Note: After the migration, Kafka Path Control subscriptions replace the former NRC-P JMS event streams.
