VERSION. 0.11.0rc3
DESCRIPTION. pmacct is a small set of passive network monitoring tools to measure, account, classify, aggregate and export IPv4 and IPv6 traffic; a pluggable and flexible architecture allows to store collected network data into memory tables or SQL (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL) databases and export them through NetFlow or sFlow protocols to remote collectors. pmacct supports fully customizable historical data breakdown, flow sampling, filtering and tagging, recovery actions, and triggers. Libpcap, sFlow v2/v4/v5 and NetFlow v1/v5/v7/v8/v9 are supported, both unicast and multicast. Also, a client program makes it easy to export data to tools like RRDtool, GNUPlot, Net-SNMP, MRTG, and Cacti. HOMEPAGE. http://www.pmacct.net/ DOWNLOAD. http://www.pmacct.net/pmacct-0.11.0rc3.tar.gz CHANGELOG. + 'sfprobe' plugin can now transport packet/flow classification tags inside sFlow v5 datagrams. Then, such tags can be read by the sFlow collector, sfacctd. + 'sfprobe' plugin is able to encapsulate basic Extended Gateway informations (src_as, dst_as) into sFlow v5 datagrams starting from a Networks File - networks_file configuration directive. + 'nfprobe' now supports network data coming from libpcap/tcpdump style savefile ('pcap_savefile', -I). + pmacctd is now able to capture packets from DLT_NULL, which is BSD loopback encapsulation link type. Thanks to Gert Burger for his support. + Sampling layer has been improved: it's now able to sample flows from NetFlow datagrams (not only packets arriving through sFlow or libpcap); 'sfprobe' sampling layer has been tied into this mechanism and as a result, 'sfprobe_sampling_rate' is now an alias for 'sampling_rate' and its default value is 1 (ie. no sampling). This change will benefit 'sfprobe' in terms of better efficiency. + A new 'pmacctd_flow_buffer_buckets' directive defines the number of buckets of the Flow Buffer. This value has to scale to higher power of 2 accordingly to the link traffic rate and is useful when packet classification is enabled. Many thanks for testing, debugging and support go to Steve Cliffe. + A new 'sql_locking_style' directive allows to choose among two types of locking: "table" (default) and "row". More details are in the CONFIG-KEYS document. "row" locking has to be considered as experimental. Many thanks go to Aaron Glenn and Peter Nixon for their close support, work and thoughts. ! IPv6 support is now working; it was broken in 0.11.0rc2; thanks to Nigel Roberts for signalling and fixing the issue. ! Fixed a few issues concerning the building system and related to the introduction of some new subtrees. Thanks to Kirill Ponomarew and Peter Nixon for signalling them. ! Fixed some signal()-related issues when running the package under DragonflyBSD. Being fork of FreeBSD 4.x, it needs same cautions. Thanks to Aaron Glenn for his support. NOTES. None Cheers, Paolo _______________________________________________ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists
