Yes, I agree - but that mantra is not prominently mentioned/displayed anywhere PRIOR to installing/running Ntop. The FAQ on www.ntop.org is woefully out of date. When I installed and ran Ntop the first time, rrdplugin was already enabled and it started sucking up disk space right off the bat. I would suggest a warning on the top of the rrdplugin config page with a recommendation to always include a filter when enabling the plugin. Also, there's no link (on www.ntop.org) to the wiki you have now which would have been helpful. I guess I should add my own contribution to the wiki and get on with it. Thanks, Burton!
