Hi Paolo,
D'oh! Why didn't I think of that. I actually even noticed the files
being updated every "few" seconds. Should've realized that "a few" might
equal 5 ;-)
Changing 5m to 300 seems to be doing the trick.
Next steps:
* Try to find a "clean" way to handle MAC address changes. I'll
probably resort to using template config files with a placeholder for
the MAC address and then at the start of each 5 minute check the current
MAC with the current one and replace if needed. If aggregate_filter
would accept a filename, this would be even easier/cleaner. *hint*
*hint* ;-)
* Streamline my pmacct<->rrdtools script a bit (mostly deleting of
crappy code that got obsoleted by the use of the print plugin).
After that, I might even deem the scripts good enough for public
consumption. Then again, that'd require writing at least some sort of
documentation...
Regards,
Ruben Laban

Hi Ruben,
You should rewrite the argument of the print_refresh_time directive
to 300 - instead of 5m. I suspect files are being actually written
every 5 secs.
Cheers,
Paolo

Hi,
I've starting playing with the print plugin in an attempt to simplify my
current traffic accounting setup. I'm running into an odd issue tho. I'm
using the following config:
daemonize: true
aggregate[in]: dst_host
aggregate[out]: src_host
aggregate[in_total]: none
aggregate[out_total]: none
aggregate_filter[in]: ether dst 00:1c:23:e1:8a:01
aggregate_filter[out]: ether src 00:1c:23:e1:8a:01
aggregate_filter[in_total]: ether dst 00:1c:23:e1:8a:01
aggregate_filter[out_total]: ether src 00:1c:23:e1:8a:01
plugins: print[in], print[out], print[in_total], print[out_total]
interface: up0
print_output_file[in]: /tmp/pmacct_up0_in_%Y%m%d-%H%M
print_output_file[out]: /tmp/pmacct_up0_out_%Y%m%d-%H%M
print_output_file[in_total]: /tmp/pmacct_up0_in_total_%Y%m%d-%H%M
print_output_file[out_total]: /tmp/pmacct_up0_out_total_%Y%m%d-%H%M
print_refresh_time: 5m
print_time_roundoff: m
print_markers: true
print_output: csv
print_num_protos: true
I'd expect new files to appear every 5 minutes, but they actually do
appear every minute. Is this expected behavior or not? (Judging from the
docs I'd say it's not.)

Ruben Laban
