Hi, i am running pmacct 0.11.4 on FreeBSD 7.1 for traffic accounting in a network with about 10.000 client ip addresses and a bandwidth of about 750 mbit/s.
I got a lot of these messages: Mar 2 15:00:00 host1 pmacctd[37092]: - increase shared memory size, 'plugin_pipe_size'; now: '161920000'. Mar 2 15:00:00 host1 pmacctd[37092]: - increase buffer size, 'plugin_buffer_size'; now: '161920'. Mar 2 15:00:00 host1 pmacctd[37092]: - increase system maximum socket size. Mar 2 15:00:00 host1 pmacctd[37091]: ERROR ( in/memory ): We are missing data. My pmacct configuration: debug: false daemonize: true syslog: kern interface: em4 aggregate[in]: dst_host aggregate[out]: src_host networks_file: /usr/local/etc/networks.def plugins: memory[in], memory[out] imt_path[in]: /tmp/in.pipe imt_path[out]: /tmp/out.pipe imt_mem_pools_number: 0 imt_mem_pools_size: 16384 plugin_pipe_size: 161920000 plugin_buffer_size: 161920 A cronjob runs "pmacct -s -p /tmp/out.pipe -e" and "pmacct -s -p /tmp/in.pipe -e" every 5 minutes to fetch the collected data. When i increase the values for plugin_pipe_size and plugin_buffer_size pmacct becomes instable and dies from time to time. Do you have any suggestions what to optimize?
