Command History
Modification Release

Usage Guidelines
The
clear flow monitor cache
command removes all entries from the flow monitor cache. These entries will
not be exported and the data gathered in the cache will be lost.
The statistics for the cleared cache entries are maintained.
Note
The clear flow monitor force-export command removes all entries from the flow monitor cache and exports
them using all flow exporters assigned to the flow monitor. This action can result in a short-term increase in
CPU usage. Use this command with caution.
The clear flow monitor statistics command clears the statistics for this flow monitor.
The current entries statistic will not be cleared by the clear flow monitor statistics command because
this is an indicator of how many entries are in the cache and the cache is not cleared with this command.
Note
You can view the flow monitor statistics by using the show flow monitor statistics privileged EXEC command.
