The FAQ is talked about frequently in this list! And it's trivially simple to access: LOOK at your ntop instance. See that big question mark logo? The one with the "HELP! Page" tooltip? That's right, the FAQ is directly available through your ntop instance... Don't believe me? Look at the page, half way down: FAQ As part of the source distribution, an 'ntop FAQ' is in the docs directory. An automated (and therefore not terribly well formatted) version from the source used to create this ntop installation is available >here<. How much simpler can it be??? And it's probably a better version (closer to the source you're executing) than the version at ntopSupport.com. > Regarding storing data between sessions it wasn't that easy as you > made it look like, especially as I didn't intuitively associate > logging of stats with SQL. It's not easy - that's why the code that didn't work right was removed 2+ years ago. The point is that it's not just the SQL insert. It's defining the databases, doing rollups, purges (database maintenance), etc.. That's why we moved to rrd, which handles everything related to time-series data automatically. <snip /> _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
