Hi Paolo,

Made some tests, achieved to trigger the error with a reduced size buffer and solved it by increasing the value, and the reason metrics did not reported the traffic peak appeared during the test ! Thank you very much !

Hi Pierre,

Maybe you need to increase the pmacctd_frag_buffer_size (by default 4MB and perhaps not sufficient for your traffic footprint):

https://github.com/pmacct/pmacct/blob/1.7.5/CONFIG-KEYS

Give that a try.

Hello,

We are using pmacct to generate Netflow v9 metrics. Yesterday, while we were under what we determined to be a heavy load of UDP fragmented packets, pmacct did not report any traffic peak. Our SNMP metrics reported 1Gbps+ of traffic at the same time.

We noticed the following log message multiple times around then:
"INFO ( default / core ): Fragment/4 buffer full. Skipping fragments.".

Could this message be linked to the behavior we're seeing? Could it be caused by a misconfiguration our our side?

Here's our current configuration:
