Hi all, if you happen to have some time, please resync with CVS and get the latest ntop. What's new? very simple, ntop should be used as a probe+WebClient. Nevertheless, in many situation you don't need a web interface but a command line or API interface. Let's clarify this point. Suppose that every night at midnight you want to save in a file the names of the hosts that sent IPX traffic. ntop can't do that although you can browse (not very convenient) at midnight the list of currently active hosts. In the past months I have developed a remote interface API that has not really been used. Now I want to try again hoping that this time somebody will develop something useful. I have reworked the remote interface. If you access "http://<host>:<port>/dumpData.html" you can see that ntop emits in Perl format a hash that contains most of the information contained inside the ntop engine. Have a look at remoteInterfaceAPI/Perl/remoteClient.pl for a simple client. My idea is to submit this to you and receive feedback. If you like it I would like to enhance it and make is parametric i.e. add support for Python, PHP,... and many other scripting languages so you can use ntop the way you want. Comments folks?
