Sorry, I should have mentioned that I found gmane after I
posted, but still couldn't find any solutions to the problem. I have also
checked the docs/faq and snapshot.
Unfortunately, since there is no crash/apparent fault, I can't
post a bug report. It just doesn't report any traffic.
The command line I'm using is:
ntop -d --http-server 192.168.0.1:3000 --https-server 0
--interface eth0
I have also tried without -d and without the IP of the
machine.
I suppose I should also have mentioned that the machine that
I'm trying to run it on is my gateway, i.e. does IP masquerading for a few other
machines on my local network, onto the Internet. The internet is accessed via an
ADSL modem (ppp0, external USB modem), and the local network is connected to the
machine via eth0 (100Mbps).
I also tried adding ppp0 to the interfaces, but still the same
problem - no traffic.
I have virtually nothing else running, bar the normal stuff
such as Samba. Have tried shutting down any firewalls (Shorewall), with no
effect.
Can't think of any other information that may be of assistance
- please let me know if anyone wants to know anything else!
Regards,
Oz

Subject: RE: [Ntop] no traffic
reported
Your message to ntop or ntop-dev has been
seen.
However, you have:
* neglected to provide important
information
- using the built-in problem report form is
STRONGLY suggested.
* appear not to have taken advantage of existing
information
or
* haven't taken other steps we ask you to do
when posting to the
mailing list
Hence this
semi-automated response.
Posting guidelines are in the docs/FAQ file in
the source tree, and
(although perhaps not the latest copy) in the "HOWTO
ask for help"
item at http://snapshot.ntop.org
and at http://www.ntopsupport.com
in the
documentation section.
1. ONE and only ONE problem / issue / question
per message.
With a meaningful
subject.
The goal is that if you're asking a
common question, the
subject would have allowed
you to find it in the back
traffic for the mailing
list.
2. Search the back traffic on these lists. There is a
searchable archive
at http://search.gmane.org
3. Read the
docs/FAQ file in the source. You should get a recent version, not
one
from some old source .tgz. As a last resort, a
HTMLed version is posted in the
documentation section of
http://www.ntopsupport.com.
4. Check
snapshot, http://snapshot.ntop.org - this is a community
FAQ collection.
Entries from snapshot are migrated into
docs/FAQ fairly routinely, but the
newest stuff (and some
oldies but goodies) are at snapshot.
DO
NOT USE THE .gz FILES AT SNAPSHOT, they are broken.
5. We
support only the current versions of ntop. This is
either:
* the last release, v2.2c.
* the cvs (and
tell us the last time you did a checkout)
or
* the latest development version posted at
SourceForge
(if there is one
posted)
If you use a port/package and the latest
version available for your
OS is some release candidate
from a year ago, sorry. Contact the
packager and
ask them to get current.
6. Post the information about your environment
we ask for.
We STRONGLY suggest you use the
automatically generated "Problem Report"
form that since
it contains much of the necessary information.
7. Make sure you're in a
supported environment (./configure --showoses).
If
it's an unsupported environment, we're interested in your efforts
to
make ntop work, but we don't have the time,
resources, knowledge and/or
insterest to do it
ourselves.
8. For software 'crashes', please run ntop under the gdb
debugger and capture
the full failure information. Brief
instructions on using gdb are in the
docs/FAQ
file.

Hi all,
I'm sorry if this question has been answered thousands of
times already - I couldn't find anywhere to search the mailing list, and
I can't find any information that helps in the docs.
I just installed ntop 2.2 on my gateway, which is running
Gentoo linux (2.4.20 kernel), by using the Gentoo 'emerge ntop'
command. It compiled and installed fine, I set the admin password,
I ran it as a daemon with a web interface on port 3000, and I've set it to
monitor eth0 (--interface eth0). I made sure there is traffic on eth0
(typing ifconfig shows that the TX/RX numbers for eth0 are changing).
However, for some reason, ntop isn't recording any network traffic at all. I
can log into the web interface, and the Configuration section shows that it
is indeed using interface eth0. Anyone have any ideas as to why it's
not reporting any traffic?
Regards,
Oz
