Hello! I was wondering if someone would help me understand the intended use of the -v and -b switches.
I am assuming the -v would be the recommended switch when using NTOP and MySQL. However, it appears I can also use -b when running NTOP and MySQL, but is different in the sense that you need a script/client (like mySQLserver.pl) to receive the data from NTOP and insert it into the database. But maybe since I am running MySQL then the -v would be recommended over the -b option. I successfully started NTOP with the -b option using the mySQLserver.pl script, and I also successfully started NTOP with the -v option. Both scenarios I saw data in the database. A question I have though is it looks like the the script mySQLserver.pl is making some changes to how it inserts data into the Hosts table .... and maybe NTOP with the -v option inserts the data correctly? Just an observation. One thing to note about a problem I am having when running with the -b option is that I get a seg fault when I try to connect to the server via browser (as soon as I connect to the url it seg faults). I am currently running NTOP 2.0.99 RC2 on RH7.2 (using RPMs that come with RH7.2 dist). I will be setting up a new server tomorrow and testing with the latest snap shot. I will forward more details about the server environment and the problem if it still exists after the upgrade. Please send me what ever thoughts you have.
