This document will show how to configure pmacct for IP accounting. Pmacct will be configured as NetFlow and sFlow collector using PostgreSQL as DB backend.
The following software have been used at the time of writing of this document:
* pmacct-0.12.4-r3 * postgresql 8.4
Install and Configure pmacct
apk add pmacct pmacct-doc
On postgreSQL server launch the following scripts found in /usr/share/doc/pmacct/sql (make sure to change the default password for user "pmacct" in pmacct-create-db.pgsql):
postgres$ psql -d template1 -f pmacct-create-db.pgsql postgres$ psql -d pmacct -f pmacct-create-table_v1.pgsql
NetFlow Collector Daemon
Edit /etc/nfmacctd.conf, changing "<HOSTNAME>" and "<PASSWORD>" to correct values:
daemonize: true pidfile: /var/run/nfacctd.pid syslog: daemon sql_host: <HOSTNAME> sql_passwd: <PASSWORD> sql_table_version: 1 plugins: pgsql sql_optimize_clauses: true sql_history: 1m sql_history_roundoff: m sql_dont_try_update: true aggregate: src_host,dst_host,src_port,dst_port,proto nfacctd_sql_log: true
