You know, I can't count the number of lists where people reply with
"read the docs". Funny, cause I always read them (if I can find them)
before I post to a list. It was only *after* searching all over ntop.org
and via google that I found some very dated (ver 2.x) info, but was able
to get ntop up and running. What I was wondering about was storing the
data... why it appeared to be lost after a reboot and if storing it in
mysql was the only option. Of course, typical to most lists, no one can
just "say, you can configure it to store the data, but you need mysql"
or "no, you can't... a mysql db is the only". Had I received an answer
like that, I could move on and know what direction to go. Instead, I'm
told to read the docs (which I already have... those I could find
anyway), that the docs are old and outdated (???), and to search the
archives (which I have, but if any of you notice, when you go the page
with the archives, there's no search option and heck if I want to
download all the files, unpack them all, and then search them all). I
wasn't asking for my hand to be held. I was asking a general question so
I know which path to go down as I move forward, but as with most lists I
got the typical RTFM, though in this case, with a follow-up that says,
"oh, and TFM is out-dated".

Oh, and be sure to read the CURRENT docs, not some old crud you found on
www.ntop.org.

Subject: [Ntop] A couple a basic NTOP questions
I have NTOP installed and seemingly working just fine. I found a generic
"how-to" a bit difficult to find... at least for any current Linux
distro's, but nonetheless, I think I have it working.
My main question is regarding keeping data after a reboot. It *appears*
that once I reboot the server running NTOP and restart NTOP, the
previously collected data is lost. Is there a simple way of storing it?
I noticed in a doc somewhere that its *possible* to store it in a mysql
DB. Is this the only choice? Are there any instructions on setting this
up? I'm very interested in trending over time, but the server NTOP runs
on will need to be rebooted on occasion.
Thanks in advance,
