Yes, the thread purgeIdleHosts() runs, it does other things such as compute
minute-by-minute throughput.
The info.html line to look for is:
-c | --sticky-hosts (default) No
The code in hash.c is this:
if((!myGlobals.stickyHosts)
|| (el->hostNumIpAddress[0] == '\0') /* Purge MAC addresses too
*/
|| (!subnetPseudoLocalHost(el))) {
theFlaggedHosts[maxBucket++] = el;
So non-local/pseudo-local hosts are flushed regardless of the sticky
setting...

Subject: [Ntop] idle hosts being purged
version number is 2.1.3
here is how the process is being kicked off:
/usr/local/bin/ntop -c -d -D fhlb-of.com -P /var/log/ntop -i eth1 -m
64.242.0.0/255.255.255.0
and on the info.html (current ntop configuration) page it still displays
this:
Host Hash counts
Actual Hash Size 512
Stored hosts 196 [38 %]
Purge idle hosts Enabled
Purged hosts 862
also if i kick off the process not in daemon mode this is what appears on
std out:
[admin@ids /]# ntop -c -P /var/log/ntop -i eth1
Wait please: ntop is coming up...

if you pass the -c option should the threads for idle host detection start
at all?
---faq---
-c | --sticky-hosts
Idle hosts are not purged from hash
---faq---
thats what it says in the FAQ but this dosent appear to be happening, the
hosts are still being purged.
thanks
