It's really just a stock installation :)  On the commandline I had:

ntop -d -i eth0 -u ntop

Then I start it up and switch to the netflow interface....

Filename I downloaded from source was ntop-3.1.tgz. The second machine I set this up on has 1 Gig RAM, dual serial ATA drives running RAID1 (hardware), and P4-2.8 processor... it does some other stuff but load average never breaks 0.1 and nothing memory intensive at all... thought it would be perfect to add this to that box...

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

I have ntop running on a Dell PowerEdge 1650 (with snort) running and
everything is fine.
I have ntop running from a install of NST
(http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/) running on a Dell PowerEdge 350 (P3
850 and 512mb of memory)....working just fine.

is it just NTOP taking over the cpu usage?
how do you have ntop configured?

Hi there...

I installed Ntop on an older Poweredge box (PIII-500) and was trying to analyze netflow reports from a router that's generating 60 Mb/s of traffic.... it just about killed the machine..

So, I setup Ntop on a P4-2.8 and the same thing.. it just kills the
CPU...

What size of machine do I need to run this properly?  Dual Xeon?

Thanks, :)

Paul
