The rrdtool is a separate project. Check out http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/ It brings different frontends with it to grab data or paint some graphs from your data. You might take a look at man rrdgraph and man rrdfetch. If you take a look a the directory structure you'll see that it is easy to figure out where specific data is stored. The different ip-services are only stored if you have the dumping of host-data enabled (I think it's the default). So, after all you can try to get the data by hand from your db (that should work) or check out if ntop can build the graphs from older rrds (I think if those are not too old, this should work too). regards Stephan Knabe _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
