Oh sorry, I see. Am I definitely running it correctly then? I
thought I'd check that I wasn't doing something obviously silly before I filed a
bug report.

You
can, and should, post a bug report since you thing this is a bug. The
report contains a lot of the internal counters, etc. showing what's being seen
on the interface(s) and what ntop is processing.

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
