Description
Hi,
We are trying to use nProbe to capture IPFIX packets being sent to us from NetFlow exporters on separate machines and store them in a Clickhouse Database. However, we found that the flows are not being ingested into the DB fully. The following error is displayed:
: While executing ParallelParsingBlockInputFormat: data for INSERT was parsed from stdin: (in query: INSERT INTO flows (IN_SRC_MAC,OUT_DST_MAC,INPUT_SNMP,OUTPUT_SNMP,SRC_VLAN,IPV4_SRC_ADDR,IPV4_DST_ADDR,L4_SRC_PORT,L4_DST_PORT,IPV6_SRC_ADDR,IPV6_DST_ADDR,IP_PROTOCOL_VERSION,PROTOCOL,L7_PROTO,L7_CONFIDENCE,IN_BYTES,IN_PKTS,OUT_BYTES,OUT_PKTS,FIRST_SWITCHED,LAST_SWITCHED,CLIENT_TCP_FLAGS,SERVER_TCP_FLAGS,L7_PROTO_RISK,L7_RISK_SCORE,EXPORTER_IPV4_ADDRESS,DIRECTION,SAMPLING_INTERVAL,TOTAL_FLOWS_EXP,NPROBE_IPV4_ADDRESS,POST_NAT_SRC_IPV4_ADDR,POST_NAT_DST_IPV4_ADDR,POST_NAPT_SRC_TRANSPORT_PORT,POST_NAPT_DST_TRANSPORT_PORT) FORMAT CSV): (in file/uri (fd = 0)): (at row 581)
. (CANNOT_PARSE_INPUT_ASSERTION_FAILED)
The following command was used for nProbe:
nprobe --zmq "tcp://*:5556" -i none -n none --collector-port 2055 -T "@NTOPNG@" --clickhouse=127.0.0.1:ntop::default:(PASSWORD)
nProbe Version: 10.2.230720

Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the nProbe command against ClickHouse and inspect the INSERT ... FORMAT CSV failure reported at row 581. The issue mentions no repository files or tests, so first identify where ClickHouse ingestion and CSV formatting are handled. Done means the captured flows are fully ingested without CANNOT_PARSE_INPUT_ASSERTION_FAILED.
