VERSION. 0.9.5
DESCRIPTION. pmacct is a small set of passive network monitoring tools to measure, account and aggregate IPv4 and IPv6 traffic; aggregation revolves around the key concept of primitives (VLAN id, source and destination MAC addresses, hosts, networks, ports, AS numbers, IP protocol and ToS/DSCP field are supported) which may be arbitrarily combined to build custom aggregation methods; support for historical data breakdown, triggers and packet tagging, filtering, sampling. Aggregates can be stored into memory tables, SQL databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite) or simply pushed to stdout. Data is collected from the network either using libpcap (and optionally promiscuous mode)or reading Netflow v1/v5/v7/v8/v9 and sFlow v2/v4/v5 datagramsboth unicast and multicast.

The plugin is LOCK-based and supports the "recovery mode" via an alternate database action. Expecially suitable for tiny and embedded environments. The plugin can be fired using the keyword 'sqlite3'. See CONFIG-KEYS and EXAMPLES for further informations. + A new SQL layer - common to MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite plugins - has been introduced. It's largely callback-based and results in a major architectural change: it sits below the specific SQL code (facing the Core Process's abstraction layer) and will (hopefully) help in reducing potential bugs and will allow for a quick implementation of new SQL plugins. ! A bug concerning the setup of insert callback functions for summed (in + out) IPv6 traffic has been fixed. The issue was affecting all SQL plugins. ! A bug concerning the handling of MPLS labels has been fixed in pmacctd. Many thanks to Gregoire Tourres and Frontier Online for their support. NOTES. None. Cheers, Paolo
