Configuration
FlowGrab vRO plug-in configuration is done by using special workflows provided by the plug-in. The

1. Switch to Run view, navigate to Library/FlowGrab/Configuration folder under Workflows
tab. Launch Add a FlowGrab host workflow to configure connection to a FlowGrab service:
Page 5/40
Figure 1 - Add FlowGrab host to vRO Client.
Page 6/40
Figure 2- Add FlowGrab host details.
a. Friendly name – specify descriptive display name of the FlowGrab service you want
to connect to.
b. Host’s URL – specify URL of the FlowGrab service you want to connect to. For public
FlowGrab service use https://www.flowgrab.com.
c. Ignore certificate errors – select yes if you want to bypass SSL certificate verification
(not recommended). Public FlowGrab.com service is using GoDaddy public SSL
certificate, which may not be automatically trusted by Java Trusted Cert Store used
within vRO. In such case you can import GoDaddy certificate to your vRO cert store.
Follow the steps under Installation chapter. This is a known issue.
d. Proxy required? – select if proxy is needed to connect to the FlowGrab service.
e. Proxy address – specify proxy server address if proxy is used.
f. Proxy port – specify proxy server TCP port if proxy is used.
g. Connection timeout in seconds – the timeout when communicating with FlowGrab
host. Default is 20 seconds, but may be increased when vRO client and FlowGrab
host have slow connection between.
h. Operation timeout in seconds – the timeout when performing operations with
FlowGrab. Default is 60 seconds, but may be increased if for example importing very
large packet.
