Paolo -
when I try to run "pmacct -s -e" I get a disconnected memory pipe and
have to restart the daemon to get it back.
bash-3.2$ pmacct -s -e -p /tmp/sfacctd_prefixes.pipe
<...sniiiiiiiip...>
For a total of: 1391302 entries <---- !!!! :)
bash-3.2$ pmacct -s -e -p /tmp/sfacctd_prefixes.pipe
INFO: Connection refused while trying to connect to '/tmp/
sfacctd_prefixes.pipe'
In my logs I get:
INFO: connection lost to 'prefixes-memory'; closing connection.
Thanks,
-Brent

Hi Brent,
Good to see progress.
The entries stay "forever", there is not an aging-out mechanism.
Reason
being you are supposed to do it yourself, at regular intervals, to
build
a time reference for the counters.
For example a simplistic scenario is a cronjob entry, set up every 5
minutes, that launches a "pmacct -s -e > counters-<time>.txt". Such
commandline a) fetches the whole content of the table, b) writes it
to a file and c) cleans the full table up. Should be all you need to
feed such data into 3rd party applications for reporting, graphing,
etc.
Cheers,
Paolo

Good news, no longer getting the errors and my system hasn't fallen
on
its face yet.
Also have 2-3x more entries in the memory tables so that's
excellent as
well.
My next question is regarding aging of entries in the memory table,
how
is this done? At first I checked one of the tables and there were
over
100k entries, 3 or 4 seconds later when I checked the table it was
down
to 50k entries and seems to fluctuate +/- 15k entries.
I've read the INTERNALS document pertaining to memory tables but it
wasn't quite clear in this regard.
Thanks!
