Nope, it's not sticky hosts! Thats when the hosts get removed from the list after a period of inactivity;
Its the actual counters of how much data per host.... it gets reset, even when theres constant activity...
I've read the man, I've checked everywhere.... hence my posts here, to the ntop experts...
 
I suppose the only man with an answer would be the ultra cool author, Mr Deri.... :D
 
Anyone?

Sounds like data is being purged - read the man page, look at --sticky-hosts.

Well, my ntop never gets shut down, but every hour or so all the counters on that page (IpL2R.html) is reset and I dont know how and can't find a setting to control the interval by which it's reset...
 
There must be a simpler way than counting all the rrd data...
 
I am just looking for a simple, quick way to do it in under 20 minutes! But if thats not possible, I suppose thats the way things are...
 
Thanks

Read docs/FAQ - it's available from About | Help - the article on persistent data.
 
Basically, you can't - once you shutdown ntop, the in-memory data is gone.  Persistent data is through the rrd plugin - read the paper @ SourceForge.

PS: We generally don't recommend having public ntop instances - there's no problems that I know of, but it seems silly to take the risk.

Subject: [Ntop] Simple Question

Hi, I would like to know how I can keep ntop from resetting my traffic counters periodically.
 
- what I would like to do, is to reset them only on the 1st of each month; And maybe keep logs of the counters for various Local->Remote traffic values daily.
 
Any suggestions, or places I should look. My searches over the past few days have come up empty!
 
Specifically:
 
The counters on ths page!
 
Thanks in advance for your help!
