Hi @zabudskyi , 'pcap_interface' is an alias to 'interface' and was introduced in 1.7.1 - but you are using 1.7.0. If you prefer to use online / browseable documentation then refer to the 1.7.0 branch: https://github.com/pmacct/pmacct/tree/1.7.0 . In short, change 'pcap_interface' to 'interface'. Paolo
