Hi Paolo,

Sorry, I should have said I was replacing the netflow *generators*, not collectors. My mistake!

Yes, I posted the config that generates the netflow 9 flows, since I hoped to see if it was missing something for including the ICMP and ICMP6 types/codes.

Hi,

Let me confirm that collecting the ICMP type is partially supported; the
native dst_port primitive is locked to UDP and TCP only - making this
not suitable for NetFlow v5 kind of scenarios; but if using NetFlow v9
and/or IPFIX you could define your own custom primitive via the
aggregate_primitives infrastructure, see also an example here:  

https://github.com/pmacct/pmacct/blob/1.7.4/examples/primitives.lst.example

By the way: you speak collecting NetFlow but your config example is
actually about the 'nfprobe' plugin, that is, generating NetFlow out of
raw traffic. Is that what you are after?

Hi! I've started using pmacctd to replace old netflow collectors for my
main and test networks, which run both IPv6 and IPv4. It works very
well, except that I haven't yet found a way to record the ICMP and ICMP6
types and codes.

In other collectors, these are often stored in the destination port
(otherwise unused for ICMP/ICMP6), in the format "A.B", where A is the
type and B is the code. For example, "3.1" would represent ICMP type 3
(Destination Unreachable), code 1 (Host Unreachable). I see lots of ICMP
and ICMP6 flows, but unfortunately, the destination port is always set
to "0.0", as if nothing is being recorded there.

A simple config:

daemonize: true
!
interface: net1
aggregate: src_host, dst_host, src_port, dst_port, proto, tos
plugins: nfprobe
nfprobe_receiver: 192.168.14.2:9997
nfprobe_version: 9


I haven't found documentation or examples that show how to enable
recording the types and codes, and no relevant primitives to add to the
aggregate statement. Would someone be able to tell me how to do this?

Thank you!
