Hi,
So I worked a little with pmacct an had a few results.
here is the config file I wrote.

debug: false
daemonize: false
nfacctd_port: 9999
nfacctd_allow_file: /home/cedric/pmacct-0.10.1/maconfig/routeurs.lst
ports_file: /home/cedric/pmacct-0.10.1/maconfig/ports.lst

plugin_buffer_size: 2048
plugin_pipe_size: 2048000

!networks_file: /home/cedric/pmacct-0.10.1/maconfig/reseaux.lst

plugins: memory[in], memory[out]
aggregate[in]: src_host,dst_host
aggregate[out]: src_host,dst_host
aggregate_filter[in]: dst net x.x.0.0/16
aggregate_filter[out]: src net x.x.0.0/16
imt_path[in]: /tmp/in.pipe
imt_path[out]: /tmp/out.pipe

I use it with this command :

nfacctd -f nfacct.conf

It works fine but a few sec after running it, these messages appears :

WARN ( in/memory ): Unable to allocate more memory pools, clear stats manually!
WARN ( out/memory ): Unable to allocate more memory pools, clear stats manually!

using this command : pmacct -s -p /tmp/out.pipe , I can see that nfacctd collects more and more data in spite of this error.

SRC_IP           DST_IP           PACKETS     BYTES
x.x.x.x    66.249.85.104    84          16970
x.x.x.x    67.43.10.51      23          2166
x.x.x.x     193.62.157.66    8           596

Entries count increase and pass 32900.

So I have datas (yeh!) :) . I would like now create a graph showing the incoming and outgoing trafic of my network.

I first tried to wiew with pmacct the network use.
pmacct -N x.x.0.0 -c src_net -p /tmp/out.pipe gives me "0".
But it works fine for a computer :
pmacct -N x.x.131.29 -c dst_host -p /tmp/in.pipe returns 944470 bytes

So is there an easy way to see stats about my network (and subnetworks).

lisening your advices, I installed cacti (not so easy) and created a graph using pedro's method. It seams to work fine. Thanks pedro :)

My problem is now that i need informations about many sub-networks and machines (dns, dhcp ...). Is there a way to script graphs creation (from a conf file or oter) ?

Thanks
