Hi Rich,
While i don't have actual examples and while supporting the answers you
already received, i may propose you the following architectural tips:
* Write stuff into files with the 'print' plugin; using
print_latest_file to point always to the latest finalized file and
Hi,
I believe that the easiest way is using the json output over a linux pipe, or
if you prefer over stdin/stdout, which eventually behave like a pipe.
Here an example with pipe:
Python script:
if __name__ == '__main__':
os.mkfifo(path_to_fifo, mode=0o666)
while True:
# One loop == one
I've done similar with the IMT and Perl years ago:
https://houstongrackles.com/~tjackson/flows_to_es/
Relevant part in Perl:
sub retrieve_flows {
my $pipe = shift;
my $primitive = shift;
my $filter = shift;
my @flows = `/usr/local/bin/pmacct -p $pipe -l -O json
