net/pmacct 1.7.9 OpenBSD

pmacct is a set of passive network monitoring tools to measure, account, classify, aggregate and export IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, suitable for ISP, IXP, CDN, IP carrier, data-centre and hot-spot enviroments.

Being able to collect flow data through libpcap, NetFlow and sFlow and optionally augment this by configuring peering with the included BGP daemon, granularity is fine enough for essential network management tasks such as billing, graphing network resource usage, analysing live or historical traffic trends, steering BGP peerings, real-time alerting, and certain SLA monitoring.

Aggregation, flexible filtering, sampling and renormalization capabilities are provided to help cope with the large amounts of data produced by high- speed networks. Using either memory or database tables (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) as backend storage, pmacct can easily feed data into external tools, including RRDtool, GNUPlot, Net-SNMP, MRTG and Cacti.

The default package provides SQLite support, available flavors are:

mysql         compile with support for MySQL
postgresql    compile with support for PostgreSQL
