Are people running the AS-aggregation option successfully? Everything works fine without it, but as soon as I enable it the only page that still shows any information is the "Global Traffic Stats" page. I am exporting from a Cisco 7200 series (without aggregation) and I know that the AS data is being exported. Does anyone have any ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
Luke

Thanks Burton,

 

What I'm looking to do is to gather usage stats based on AS.  I'm currently aggregating based on AS at the border routers and doing no aggregation via Ntop, and I think that's working out ok.

 

One question I have is, is there a way to keep the AS Info stats (RRD?) so that when the process gets restarted I don't lose what's reported under Summary/AS Info?

 

Thanks!

Basically, it's what YOU need it to be to meet YOUR needs.

 

Aggregating at the router (netflow collector, technically) reduces the amount of bandwidth consumed for monitoring (and reduces the load on ntop).  But it's more difficult (sometimes) to change the collector options.

 

Aggregating in ntop is easy to change (just flip the dropdown).  But it means ntop is processing each flow.

 

Whichever way you aggregate, that's the level of detail ntop reports.  No drill-down, etc.  just the aggregated data.

Hello All,

 

Can someone tell me what the benefits of the different netflow aggregation options are?  Is it better to not aggregate at the router, and then set up aggregation on Ntop, or should they 'line up', meaning, set AS aggregation on the router and also in ntop?

 

 

I guess which type of aggregation you choose will also effect the type of reporting that Ntop is going to produce, correct?

 

Thanks in advance!
