collect interface output
collect routing source as

Create a flow exporter:

flow exporter MFEexporter
destination {MOTADATA_NETFLOW_SERVER_IP}
source {LOOPBACK_INTERFACE_NAME}
export-protocol version-9
transport udp {MOTADATA_NETFLOW_SERVER_LISTENER_PORT}
template data timeout 60

Create a flow monitor:

record MFErecord
exporter MFEexporter
cache timeout active 60
cache timeout inactive 15

Apply the flow monitor to the desired interface:

interface  {INTERFACE_NAME}
ip flow monitor MFEmonitor input
