[pmacct-discussion] Updating Timestamps without historical accounting
Hi, I want to do accounting in which timestamp is updated at sql_refresh interval. (No historical accounting) Following is the pmacctd configuration, --- interface: ens32 debug: true snaplen: 1500 plugins: mysql[in], mysql[out] aggregate[in]: dst_host aggregate[out]: src_host plugin_buffer_size: 20480 plugin_pipe_size: 2048000 ! My SQL sql_optimize_clauses: true sql_db: pmacct sql_refresh_time: 6 sql_passwd: tmfsr82 sql_user: root sql_table[in]: acct_in sql_table[out]: acct_out --- I have gone through the README.timestamp document. But, I haven't found any configuration to do that. Can anyone help me on this ? Regards, Mehul ___ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists
[pmacct-discussion] Traffic accounting of BGP Subnets and Hosts
Hi, My requirement is to do accounting of BGP Subnets which are logged by BGP daemon in PMacct. Also, I want to do accounting of individual hosts with the BGP subnet associations. I have configured BGP deamon in PMacct and it is logging BGP routes in a json file. I need a configuration to do accounting of the logged BGP routes and other hosts associated with this subnet. Is this possible ? Regards, Mehul ___ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists
[pmacct-discussion] PMacct with RADIUS Client
Hi, I have configured PMacct to dump BGP routes in a text file (i.e. Json format).

How can I integrate RADIUS client to achieve the same? Is this configuration available in PMacct? Regards, Mehul ___ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists

[pmacct-discussion] Historical accounting for 6 seconds
Hi, I want to do real time accounting. I can see that sql_history parameter governs the time-bins. I am getting error when configuring it to 6. However, for value 60 it is working fine.

Re: [pmacct-discussion] Dynamic filtering of packets
Hi Mario,
I want to make configuration in PMacct for my requirement.
Let me reframe this question.
-I get triggering message in PMacct (e.g. from TCP/UDP port).
-I decode the message.
-I get an IP address and database logging on/off information.
If I get logging ON for an IP address then I want to make its entry in MySQL
and start accounting.
If I get logging OFF for an IP address then I want to stop accounting for that
IP.
I will ignore accounting for all other packets for which logging ON information
is not received.
Is there any configuration to start/stop accounting at run time ?

The mentioned user groups need to be build when the user authenticates and get
the IP address assigned. This is most probably done in your Radius

Hi Mehul.
the way you detect "Accounting ON/OFF" in pmacct affects possible
recommendations. Same applies to other preconditions/requirements you may have.
If we don't need to care about them I would think you can filter out all IPs
that you don't want accounting enabled for - this assumes there is no dynamic
assignment from users to IP addresses.
With such a dynamic assignment a solution could be: assign the user groups
("accounting on" vs "accounting off") different IP blocks and have pmacct
collect the data only for the IP block for users with "accounting on".
In case your situation is more complicated and you can't take one of these ways
it is helpful to know how you "receive some event i.e. Accounting ON in PMacct"
and process it. Depending on if you're allowed to keep data about users with
"accounting off" you also may solve it on MySQL side (presuming this is your
data store). Receiving an "accounting on" you put the user/IP address for it in
table1. Accounting data for this IP address is only stored in table2 if an
appropriate entry in table1 is there. Receiving an "accounting off" you remove
user/IP address for it in table1 and if required all appropriate entries from
table2. This behavior should be possible with DB triggers / helper table.

Mario
