Mathieu,

I think that for your purposes you should look and edit the Host functions:

- serialize :
https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/blob/0c0b671e0f218cbee369bd5567f1a50d63e92a3d/src/Host.cpp#L862
- deserialize :
https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/blob/0c0b671e0f218cbee369bd5567f1a50d63e92a3d/src/Host.cpp#L953

They handle how host data is written to and read from redis.
