[pmacct-discussion] hsflowd & sfacctd - flow generation & analysis

2016-02-23 Thread nicolas prochazka
Hello,
it seems that sfacctd  discards the counter sample and works only on flow
sample,
so host sflow ( http://www.sflow.net/ ) cannot be used with pmacct .

However, does it exist a solution to use pmacct with the host sflow agent ?

[pmacct-discussion] Multiple pmacct processes listening at similar interface

2016-02-23 Thread fboehm

Hi,

I couldn't find a definitive answer on the web regarding following 
situation:


Is it technically ok if multiple pmacct instances listen to the same 
interface via libpcap? The interface is in promiscuous mode and is 
getting traffic via a mirrored switch-port.


I like it because I don't need to restart all plugins after I changed 
the configuration of just one plugin.


Until now it seems to work but I'm not sure how to check if all pmacct 
instances are processing 100% of the incoming packets. Maybe such a 
setup works but isn't described anywhere because it's considered too cpu 
demanding in high-traffic environments.


Thanks,
Franz
