Why are you trying this?  It's bogus - just use -B "filter" for the ntop instance.
Hello,

In the first place it was just a test of this function of ntop. I am considering the possibility to keep the raw Netflow data for shorts periods for security reasons. I wanted to test how I could use ntop to analyze this raw data. It was not my goal to make a test of a live tcpdump with a live ntop on it, it was a mistake (I did'nt stop tcpdump as I believed I did).

But when I saw the result, I was curious of what was displayed.

Thanks for your answer.

Subject: [Ntop] ntop on a pcap file

Hello,

Here what I tried :
  • I started a tcpdump -w file.pcap dst host my_host and dst port 2055 &
  • A few minutes later, I launched ntop as a daemon with the -f file.pcap argument, the tcpdump was still (and is still) running. Ntop complained a little because it find the file.pcap to be a truncated file, but it processed it.
Now this very instance of ntop I launched on the pcap file a few hours ago displays in (Summary->Network load) a graph with the last hour. A long time after the moment I first launched ntop.

My question is : does ntop rescan the pcap file and display the evolution or does it display the actual time by error ?

I hope that I made myself clear :-[ .
