Any options set in the GUI are stored in a DB.  Options specified at startup 
(on the cli, script, whatever) aren't copied to the DB, so the GUI knows 
nothing about them - and hence yes, displays default values.

If you want, I guess you can take all the startup options off and specify them 
only in the GUI.  I'm not sure which ones would over-ride which...  I suspect 
CLI args take precedence, but not sure.

The "resolved to" Is what matters - those are the args that ntop ultimately 
processed and is currently using.

Subject: [Ntop] Configure startup options: default values show instead of 
current values?

Hello,

In my recent ntop 3.4-pre3 installation, I have noticed that when I go to
Admin => Configure = Startup Options, many of the options I started ntop
with don't appear. For example, I have the following options in my startup
script:

-https-server 3001 --track-local-hosts

(they correctly appear in "Resolved to..." in the "About => Show
configuration" page) but in the "Configure startup options" page,  HTTPS
Server (-W) shows up as 0 and Track Local Hosts (-g) appears as "No".

It's as if default values are  show instead of the current values.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks,
Marc.
