Hello, I would be very interested on native elasticsearch support. I've tried in the past pmacct -> logstash -> elasticsearch but I've found than logstash is not so much reliable when injecting high amounts of data so I discarded the whole thing.

It's a superb tool for us, and has given us considerably greater clarity of data than the commercial tools we've evaluated in the marketplace. We're a NetBSD shop, and save a minor patch[2] to execv, it builds and runs extremely well for us. Historically, we've dumped our pmacct data into pgsql, and been moderately happy with the results... we grok out what we need and all is well in the world. Recently, we've started to look at applying Elasticsearch and Kibana to the equation, based currently on the excellent Python based work of Pier Carlo Chiodi from https://github.com/pierky/pmacct-to-elasticsearch. As we look at this in more of a production sense, I'm keen to keep our moving parts, and dependencies to a minimum, so am looking at the possibility of writing[1] a native pmacct backend to interact with Elasticsearch. Before I get too far down this path, I'm interested to know if: - Anyone is already engaged in a similar effort - There is additional expertise out there which may be available - There is any interest in seeing this sort of addition developed Any feedback welcome. Best, Mike.
