Hi -

We are currently using the Linux IPAC software to track bandwidth
useage by IP
address on our networks. Ipac itself generates very simple images
from the data and what we would like to do is understand how the data
is stored in the
log files under /var/log/ip-acct so we can parse the data and
interpret it ourselves. More specifically I need to understand the
format of the data files
linux ipac uses to store the accounting information. This information
is not
available in any of the documentation I could find. Does anyone know
where I
can find a description of the log file formats for linux ipac?

Thanks,
Juan Casero

Hi,

you may consider using ipac-ng instead. It offers logging to gdb or
postgresql as alternative to a log file. You can find it under:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipac-ng/

kind regards,

Klaus
