To configure a flow-export action on a Cisco ASA, you need to use the flow-export event-type command and the policy-map command. The flow-export event-type command specifies the type of events that trigger the export of NetFlow Security Event Logging (NSEL) records to a collector. The policy-map command creates or modifies a policy map that can be applied to one or more interfaces to specify a service policy. A service policy consists of a traffic class and one or more actions to be applied to the traffic class. One of the actions can be a flow-export action that matches the NSEL events and sends them to a collector. The other commands are not required for configuring a flow-export action. The access-list command creates or modifies an access list that can be used to filter traffic or match traffic classes, but it is not mandatory for a flow-export action. The flow-export template timeout-rate command specifies how often the ASA sends the template to the collector, but it is not part of the flow-export action configuration. The access-group command applies an access list to an interface, but it is not related to the flow-export action.
