as I've been searching for a traffic accounting I just found yours. many thanks for all your efforts.
and be sure its also working with munin 2.0, see it running on http://munin.rekmp.net/rekmp.net/echse.rekmp.net/traffic_accounting/index.html (not yet long and not that many traffic, ...)

This is what I have on a system where it works:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10584 2011-04-08 11:53 traffic_accounting

In the config file I have

[traffic_accounting]
user root
env.chain4 ACCT4
env.chain6 ACCT6

(the above may of course be different for you). Other than that, check that your firewall rules have appropriate description tags, for example:

-A ACCT4 -d 10.12.14.16/32 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -m comment --comment "=tcp80_down= TCP to local 80"
-A ACCT4 -s 10.12.14.16/32 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 80 -m comment --comment "=tcp80_up="

and the same for the IPv6 accounting chain, if you have defined it. Also mind that the plugin was developed on munin 1.4, and although I haven't tried, I'm almost sure it won't work with munin 2.x.

Thank you! So, I did changed /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node as you suggested, but I still get no stats. I can see empty images where graphs suppose to be. So, script works but doesn't provide graphs. Could it be because of wrong right settings?

Could you please tell me which rights and ownership I have to grand to to the script?

On most systems, that'll be where you configure all the plugins, eg /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node or similar.

In which file?
