- pmacct is a set of passive network monitoring tools to measure, account,
- classify, aggregate and export IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, suitable for ISP,
- IXP, CDN, IP carrier, data-centre and hot-spot enviroments.
- Being able to collect flow data through libpcap, NetFlow and sFlow and
- optionally augment this by configuring peering with the included BGP
- daemon, granularity is fine enough for essential network management
- tasks such as billing, graphing network resource usage, analysing live
- or historical traffic trends, steering BGP peerings, real-time alerting,
- and certain SLA monitoring.
- Aggregation, flexible filtering, sampling and renormalization capabilities
- are provided to help cope with the large amounts of data produced by high-
- speed networks. Using either memory or database tables (MySQL, PostgreSQL,
- SQLite) as backend storage, pmacct can easily feed data into external
- tools, including RRDtool, GNUPlot, Net-SNMP, MRTG and Cacti.
- The default package provides SQLite support, available flavors are:
- mysql compile with support for MySQL
- postgresql compile with support for PostgreSQL
