pmacct
A lightweight suite of passive network monitoring tools supporting NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, libpcap, and BGP telemetry.
What is pmacct?
pmacct is a suite of passive network monitoring tools that collects and processes telemetry data from protocols like NetFlow, sFlow, IPFIX, and BGP. It helps network administrators and researchers analyze traffic patterns, detect anomalies, and monitor routing behavior without disrupting network operations.
Network engineers, DevOps teams, and researchers who need scalable, protocol-agnostic tools for monitoring and analyzing network traffic and routing data.
Developers choose pmacct for its lightweight design, broad protocol support, and flexibility in exporting data to various backends, making it ideal for building custom network visibility solutions.
