If I am understanding correctly here, the "in" and the "out" (input and
output interface) values defined in the pre-tag are the snmp index
values of the interfaces on the switch/router right? I see that the "in"
and "out" being used here are defined as integers whereas the interfaces
being exported are hex values. Can we change the data type in pmacct?

We also know that Netflow v9 is customizable. i.e I can define my own
set of statistics to be exported to the collector. Is there a way to
define the customized set in the pmacct (nfacct), so that nfacctd
identifies those packets accordingly and stores it in the sql database?
Pre-tagging supports only a subset of these. 

Thanks,
Suraj.N

Good summary of what tagging is for.  Is there a place
to drop it on the wiki?
