pmacct is a set of passive network monitoring tools to measure, account,
|
||
|
|
classify, aggregate and export IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, suitable to 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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
threads compile with threads, required for BGP integration
|
||
|
|
or running packet classification in parallel
|
||
|
|
mysql compile with support for MySQL
|
||
|
|
postgresql compile with support for PostgreSQL
