Ok thanks for the clarification. The config file you see is actually all I have now in debug purpose. I have nothing else in the file. When I run sfacctd with the debug bgp_daemon_msglog I do get a lot of information like the one described below. sfacctd -f /etc/pmacct/sfacctd.conf -p /tmp/test.pipe
However when I comment that field out in the configuration file and run the same command again I get nothing in the terminal !daemonize: true sfacctd_ip: X bgp_daemon: true bgp_daemon_ip:X bgp_daemon_max_peers: 100 bgp_aspath_radius: 3 sfacctd_as_new: bgp aggregate: src_as, dst_as, as_path ! tag, peer_src_as, peer_dst_as, peer_src_ip, peer_dst_ip, local_pref, as_path !bgp_daemon_msglog: true Sflow packets are coming in. 10:44:18.821453 IP X.X:X.X.8888 > X.X.X.X:6343: UDP, length 1156 I'm thinking I have done something wrong with the pmacct config file or maybe at the compilation of pmacct. Is there any debug I could try ?

Bgp comes up > fine with my router. bgp_daemon_msglog lets you debug BGP messaging; it says nothing about sFlow samples or NetFlow flows. The moment pmacct is BGP peering with one or more routers this directive produces output on the screen or on the log files; if you comment it out from your configuration, then you don't get debugging information anymore. The fragment of configuration you posted looks simple enough; maybe it doesn't give the entire feel since you also mention an aggregate_filter directive. From what i see if your routers are a) sending sFlow datagrams to the right IP address and port, b) firewall on the collector box is allowing sFlow and BGP to pass through and c) the routers are using the same IP address for the sFlow agent ID and to BGP peer with pmacct then you should see your MySQL database populated. Let me know.
