Conditions
Making configuration changes for Netflow like the below example can trigger this crash:
conf t
no flow monitor Internet-flow
show run
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
no service-policy type performance-monitor input All-traffic
exi
flow monitor All-traffic
description match all traffic
record netflow ipv4 original-output
Workaround
The crash is seen when we have the monitor ( type performance-monitor) with the same name as another monitor (type FNF) along with a record. Avoiding such a condition should keep the crash from happening.
