If I’m on the dashboard looking at the tcp://127.0.0.1:5556 interface, the 
gauge bottom middle flips from far left to far right, spending more time in the 
red (far right) than anywhere else. To the right the data count goes from 0b 
anywhere upto 12 or more Gbps, tells me I have 1500+ hosts and ~450 flows. I 
have the refresh frequency set to 1 minute. Above the guage I have the flow 
talking graphic. I see everything you suggest I should see except “alerts” - I 
have the bps/pps count, uptime, hosts and flows. And a little blue graph in 
between the gauge and the data in the bottom right corner. 

Every tab appears to be working 100%, except perhaps the protocols tab that 
only lists DNS and then says it has no data. That seems peculiar. Because on 
the dashboard I see a lot of elasticsearch, mysql and http traffic.

From time to time and independent of browser, I get a “warning, unresponsive 
script message ( … js/sankey.js:118 ) and this stops the UI from working. This 
usually gets in to a cycle wherre I stop the script then the UI works for a 
while, then get the error again. The cause of this error seems indeterminate, 
but the longer ntopng has been up, the more likely it is to happen. It doesn’t 
seem related at all to my historical problem, I just mention it for 
completeness.

When I move to the historical interface and specify a time range, I get the 
well done message but nothing further. Even if I leave this for an hour, the 
overview tab still says 0 bytes.

I’m picking up about 500M of sqlite files a day in /var/tmp/0/flows/2015, owned 
by nobody:nobody. I also have a directory in /var/tmp/0 containing a directory 
entry for each host, and a number of protocol rrds.

I’m currently running RPM’s I picked up yesterday. Thanks!

Barnaby
