Flow-accounting not working with PPPoE interfaces
Confirmed, LowPublic

Description

Flow-accounting does not seem to work with PPPoE interfaces.

Config is as follows:

flow-accounting {
    interface eth1
    interface pppoe0
    interface eth2.10
    interface eth2.11
    netflow {
        engine-id 1
        sampling-rate 100
        server 192.168.0.247 {
            port 2055
        }
        timeout {
            expiry-interval 60
            flow-generic 300
            icmp 300
            max-active-life 604800
            tcp-fin 300
            tcp-generic 3600
            tcp-rst 120
            udp 300
        }
        version 9
    }
    syslog-facility daemon

Iptables seems to be 'capturing' the packets OK:

…but flow-accouting is showing nothing on the pppoe interface:

I got a bit further. uacctd seems to have an issue, I started manually pmacctd on pppoe0 and everything is working well. Uacctd shows that it gets hit with something when I check via strace, but it doesn't show anything.

syncer moved this task from Needs Triage to Backlog on the VyOS 1.2 Crux (VyOS 1.2.0-EPA3) board.

HI @hagbard - is there currently any work around to get the flow-accounting working on the rolling release? I raised T1838 as a similar issue. You mention above about starting pmacctd?

@leacho Sorry, I didn't have the time to look deeper into that, as far as I know we currently have no workaround for it.
