Package: pmacct
Version: 1.5.0-4
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/pmacctd
Dear Maintainer,
I'm using pmacctd configured as so:
! pmacctd configuration
!
!
!
daemonize: true
pidfile: /var/run/pmacctd.pid
syslog: daemon
!
! interested in in and outbound traffic
aggregate[in]: dst_mac
aggregate[out]: src_mac
! on this interface
interface: eth0
!
plugins: memory[in], memory[out]
plugin_pipe_size: 10240000
plugin_buffer_size: 10240
imt_path[in]: /tmp/eth0-in.pipe
imt_path[out]: /tmp/eth0-out.pipe
When I view the list of entries using "pmacct -p /tmp/eth0-in.pipe -s" I see
something like:
DST_MAC PACKETS BYTES
00:16:3e:48:33:91 370 27986
00:16:3e:18:49:67 1966 210362
....
This is as expected.
When I try to query for a single MAC address using "pmacct -p /tmp/eth0-in.pipe
-c dst_mac -M '00:16:3e:18:49:67'", I get:
DST_MAC PACKETS BYTES
For a total of: 0 entries
The MAC address is in the full list - but an exact match fails.
This has already been fixed upstream. See this commit:

Testing at that time must have been 1.6.0-1. Closing accordingly.
