RE: [Ntop] Newb Question - adding protocols and filtering them

The product is already installed with the defaults and is running. My problem is that the majority of my traffic is coming up as IP “other”. I believe this is MAPI traffic (RPC TCP 135) and streaming apps. Can I modify the listed protocols after installation? Since it runs as a service I figured I could edit the default file and restart the service to pick up the changes/

Actually, the only marginal part is not explicitly telling us you're running Windows.

Read the docs (esp. the man page) and you'll see mostly the UNIX parameters. You need to understand that ntop for windows runs as a service and so the command line parameters are for configuring that. ThHere is special handling of the 'command line' parameters. Quoting docs/FAQ:

Q. ntop -i1 ... doesn't work
A. ntop has special parameters under Win32

         Under win32 there are TWO COMPLETELY SEPARATE TYPES OF PARAMETERS.

     There are the parameters to the win32 stub AND there are parameters to ntop
     itself.

     AFTER THE win32 parameters are the ntop parameters in the standard (Unix)
     -xxx format.

         ntop /c <normal parms> runs ntop INTERACTIVELY with the specified ntop
         parameters

         ntop /i <parameters> installs ntop as a service to run with the specified parameters

         ntop /d deletes the ntop service

   Remember, ntop /i and ntop /d don't actually run the service - you need to
   start it.

So, the correct syntax is

ntop /c -p c:\lists.txt

ntop /i -p c:\lists.txt

Just bought NTOP and need to add some protocols. I have tried using the list but I get syntax errors. I really need to track streaming protocols, and MAPI clients.

I use:

Ntop –p c:\lists.txt

And all I get is the error

What is the correct syntax and where is the default folder location?
