nicely, same as per the sql_history_roundoff directive.

scripts at each print_refresh_time interval (ie. to process, expire,
gzip, etc. files). Feature is in sync with wrap-up of data commit to
screen or files.
This is interesting stuff! For some reason I was not even aware of the
existence of the print plugin. Reading through the complete changelog
doesn't show much evidence of it either.
It surely will decrease the complexity of my collection scripts. As I
currently query the IMTs every 5 minutes, parse the data and write to
"journal" files. With this plugin however, I can just have pmacct write
these journal files directly, and even have a trigger whenever a new one
is there to be processed!
I hope I'll have some spare minutes soon to write a PoC replacement for
my current setup. The details of this plugin and its newly added config
directives will need a bit time to fully comprehend (both the workings
and the usage), but at first glance it looks rather trivial to use.
Keep up the good work! ;-)
Regards,
Ruben Laban
PS: Any idea on when 0.14.0 will be "final"? Other than the obvious
"when it's ready"? ;-)
