Good morning folks,
First of all, my sincerest thanks to those who contribute, and have
contributed previously to pmacct. It's a superb tool for us, and has
given us considerably greater clarity of data than the commercial tools
we've evaluated in the marketplace. We're a NetBSD shop, and save a
minor patch[2] to execv, it builds and runs extremely well for us.
Historically, we've dumped our pmacct data into pgsql, and been
moderately happy with the results... we grok out what we need and all is
well in the world.
Recently, we've started to look at applying Elasticsearch and Kibana to
the equation, based currently on the excellent Python based work of Pier
Carlo Chiodi from https://github.com/pierky/pmacct-to-elasticsearch.
As we look at this in more of a production sense, I'm keen to keep our
moving parts, and dependencies to a minimum, so am looking at the
possibility of writing[1] a native pmacct backend to interact with
Elasticsearch.
Before I get too far down this path, I'm interested to know if:
- Anyone is already engaged in a similar effort
- There is additional expertise out there which may be available
- There is any interest in seeing this sort of addition developed
Any feedback welcome.
Best,
Mike.
