Can you elaborate on this? sql_history (temporal aggregation feature) stops
to seconds resolution. You looking for sub-second temporal aggregation?

You have setup sql_history (temporal aggregation) to 1 hour: you mean to
aggregate together rows belonging to long connections that last more than
one hour?

All seems good with your configuration. It should just work. Can you spot
any complains when you start pmacctd up or by checking logs? If neither of
these give any clue, since you are capturing over a bridge (which means
bridged interface, ie. br0 or so?) can you send over a brief capture in
libpcap/tcpdump format so to double-check this out?

No. Is there a specific reason against a value of zero to designate an
untagged packet? You can post-process yourself the table rewriting zeroes
to -1 with a simple SQL query.

No. Since pmacct is an IP accounting application this is not generally
possible. More recently, 0.14.3, these fields can be removed in order to
log down events, ie. Cisco NEL. What is the use-case for this request?

I'd say the keys are specific to the most popular queries you want to run
against the dataset - maybe you can elaborate on what you are trying to
accomplish.

Cheers,
Paolo
