If you use such aggregation, you have to expect many tuples in your
database for the same src_host, dst_host. To get started and keep
your database small, get a look to point Q5 of FAQS document;
depending on what you want to do, that fragment could be useful as
a starting point:

...
aggregate[inbound]: dst_host
aggregate[outbound]: src_host
aggregate_filter[inbound]: dst net <local networks>
aggregate_filter[outbound]: src net <local networks>
plugins: mysql[inbound], mysql[outbound]
sql_table[inbound]: acct_in
sql_table[outbound]: acct_out  
sql_refresh_time: 60
sql_history: 1h
promisc: false
pcap_filter: host not 192.168.1.1 and host not 10.0.0.1 and ether dst not 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
...

The above will use two different tables, acct_in and acct_out to
account for your inbound and outbound traffic, per host, per hour.
You need to create such tables on your own. BTW, sql_refresh_time
need to be somewhat larger than the value in your configuration (2).
30-60-90 secs are all acceptable values.

Cheers,
Paolo
