RE: [Ntop] When network service restarts.

[Parker, Michael]

I can verify that something is wrong with NTOP...I have the latest snapshot (and the previous snapshot) 27/28 Mar 2002.   It seems if anybody accesses the ntop data through the web interface @ port 3000 I get buckets full of the attached over and over and over again.   Command line in use for the daemons:       /usr/local/bin/ntop -u root -n -w 3000 -r 600 -d -i eth0 -M -P/var/log/ntop -E -e 2048   And the syslog output:   Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:232] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:286] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2490] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2500] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:232] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:286] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2490] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2545] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:232] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:286] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2490] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2500] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:232] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:286] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2490] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [util.c:2500] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: accessMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:232] Mar 28 11:32:20 snorty ntop[13105]: ERROR: releaseMutex() call with a NULL mutex [webInterface.c:286] -----Original Message----- From: Burton M.

"... ping that machine which runs NTOP..."   ping is a program that comes with the OS and uses ICMP packets.  It has nothing to do with ntop...   If it's the ntop program that's died, that's a different story.   Of course, you haven't given us any information about what you're running and how - check the "HOWTO ask for help" in the FAQs at http://snapshot.ntop.org/.   Once ntop restarts, data is gone - check the back posts on the list and the FAQs - there is information about the -S flag.   -----Burton   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bharat Merja Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 3:27 AM To: NTOP Querry Subject: [Ntop] When network service restarts.
