Data collection and display are separate. Data collection runs while ntop is running.
However, remember that inactive hosts are purged, so if it's a small network, your prior activity may be purged as "idle hosts". There's a flag to set if you want to disable it - check the man page or configuration page on the web interface. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nicholas Orr Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 12:56 AM To: 'Ntop ([EMAIL PROTECTED])' Subject: [Ntop] Question regarding data collecting & storing Hi, When I start ntop, (ntop -d -P /tmp/ntop), does ntop start collecting stats and storing them from when I press enter? Or does it wait for me to connect to it through a web browser? Cause when I connect to ntop through a web browser I see stats being collected and I'm doing things to make sure it is actually working. When I close my browser and start it back up again about 30mins later none of the information is there from when I was connected to it before. Is this how ntop works??? Is it only a real-time thing, with no history??? I have not done a "Reset Stats" Am I missing something here?? Regards, Nicholas Orr PS This program is really awesome kudos to the ppl you continue to work on it. ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).
