Command History
Usage Guidelines You must enable Flexible NetFlow monitor before you can use the clear flow monitor command.
Use the clear flow monitor monitor-name cache command to remove all entries from the flow monitor
cache. These entries will not be exported and the data gathered in the cache is lost.
The statistics for the cleared cache entries are maintained.
Use the clear flow monitor monitor-name force-export command to remove all entries from the flow
monitor cache and exports them to all flow exporters that are assigned to the flow monitor. This process
can result in an short term increase in the CPU utilization.

this command might cause a short-term increase in the CPU utilization.

for this flow monitor.
