So from a terminal do this # nfacctd -l 2100 where 2100 is the port to listen for netflow records. it will default to memory plugin. you should see a few messages printed out. make sure you see something like this OK ( default_memory/memory ): waiting for data on: '/tmp/collect.pipe' Then in another terminal do this # pmacct -s -p /tmp/collect.pipe It should display a nice table of the aggregates it has collected in memory for source host. If everything is ok with the above then you at least know it is getting and aggregating Netflow data.

Re: [pmacct-discussion] Trying to collect NetFlow data from a Cisco router
And also post the netflow config section from your router.

[pmacct-discussion] Trying to collect NetFlow data from a Cisco router
All; I have a Cisco router running IOS and have NetFlow enabled. What I want to do is simply collect that data using nfacctd. No biggie, just collect the data containing the src and dst IP addresses and store it in MySQL. I don't even need to store it in MySQL, I could simply store it pretty much anywhere. The problem is that no data is being collected. This is my nfacctd.conf file: daemonize: true #debug: true networks_file: /usr/local/etc/pmacct/nfacctd.networks aggregate: src_host,dst_host nfacctd_port: 2100 plugins: mysql sql_optimize_clauses: true sql_table_schema: /usr/local/etc/pmacct/pmacct-create-db_v1.sql sql_refresh_time: 60 sql_history: 1d sql_history_roundoff: d sql_db: accounting sql_table: tkue_%Y_%m_%d sql_host: localhost sql_passwd: root sql_user: So, my question is, what am I missing? What am I doing wrong? Any insight at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance; John V. ___ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists
