What info are you wanting exactly? Seems between rrd (with proper detail selected), sticky hosts, and your dump code - that should cover everything.

I am hoping that ntop will help identify me hosts that I should cache locally or block, but need to capture traffic over an extended period of time. I installed and am successfully running ntop 3.3 on an Ubuntu 8.10 server that manages the 3G modem. Remote websites come and go from the All Protocols/Traffic list and Utils/Dump Data. When a website becomes active again, byte counters appear to be reset. The mailing list suggests using --sticky-hosts and activating the RRD plug-in, but these steps did not seem to change how ntop works. I did see one post that suggested --sticky-hosts was not effective for remote hosts. I wrote code to invoke Utils/Dump Data periodically and build a composite traffic table. Over a 6 hour period yesterday, I captured data from 517 hosts, well below the default 8192 Max Hashes. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! I realise I am trying to use ntop in a fashion for which it was not designed. Thanks, Norbert PS. Great tool! The amount of information it provides is amazing. <font size="1"> <div style='border:none;border-bottom:double windowtext 2.25pt;padding:0in 0in 1.0pt 0in'> </div> "This email is intended to be reviewed by only the intended recipient and may contain information that is privileged and/or confidential.
