I guess the subject should change to NTOP metrics because probably by now it is understood NTOP runs fine on RH8.
I would be up for offering metrics on the NTOP systems I run ... I will have to look into it. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. On the other hand ... if someone is having performance problems with NTOP there are things you can do like disable name resolution, lower the detail of tracing, etc.. or possible a hardware upgrade is needed? Here is some quick stats I can give you now; I run a small ASP supporting about 16 customers (rather large customers) accessing a financial application (via Internet and private lines) .... I have one NTOP server 450MHz, 512MB RAM, 100MB FE, RH8, latest NTOP 2.1.57pre cvs snapshot (like 3-3-03 or something) .... everything is and has been working fine ... it has never crashed. I will have to look into the NTOP performace statistics alittle closer but here is something to look at.
