So I seem to be stuck here, with no access to my historical data even though it 
is piling up in sqlite files in /var/tmp. Updating to the latest versions in 
SVN has not solved the problem. Reinstalling everything and deleting the 
previous historical data has not fixed anything. Searching the archives lead me 
to a number of other Centos users over the last few months complaining they 
can’t get historical data, but nothing pointing to a solution. I tried looking 
at debug level output for ntopng, and even straced it. But I can see nothing to 
point to the reason this is not working :(
If there’s anything more you can suggest I can do I’d be happy to try. 
Inability to access historical sflow data is a bit of a showstopper for me.

This is all I ever see in the ntopng log:
