i did a search on alerts and found this thread but no follow up that i could see.

Goal: I would like to be notified when a file, 5+ meg movie/dowload, takes place, that 
i would like some type of logged event (email,syslog)

is the following thread the only solution?
if so, what would be a rough outline to code it would be helpfull. i have not coded 
for over 10 years. my only tool for now would be winbatch, and im running notp on 
windows 2000 pro

what other methods has others used or type of alerts with ntop


i did purchase but not fully implemented/learned denika, doe any one know off hand 
that i might be able to achieve this with denika?

or what low cost solution should i use for this goal that runs on windows


thanks in advance
wt

but how would one automate a data dump every N number of minutes?  That
would be required for an alerting script... I suppose the script could
use the HTTP Perl module (or python, or whatever) to tell ntop to
generate the dump... or is there a signal you can send to ntop to tell
it to do a data dump?  or some other method?
