I am trying to get sflow to poll from fortiswitch to PRTG. our switch is configured as follows: 

set sflow-sampler enabled
set sflow-sample-rate 4
set sflow-counter-interval 60

collector IP is also set accordingly

Hello,

in order to check if the flows arrive and are valid, please pause the PRTG flow sensors, and then run the sFlow tester. Do you see any flows there?

Hi, yes I'm seeing flows coming in the sFlow tester, but on the PRTG Compatibility the sample format goes to failed

Here my working example in FortiSwitch 124D with OS ver 6.0

"config system sflow
    set collector-ip 192.168.100.101
end
config switch interface
    edit ""port24""
        set sflow-sampler enabled
        set sample-rate 4
        set polling-interval 60
    next
end"
