Well, you didn't give us much to go on, did you?
 
Common problem: Make sure that the reporting NIC is set correctly.
 
Read docs/FAQ and see the stuff about how to ask for help.  One of the things in the Problem Report (PR) are counters of what's going on - you can also see this stuff in textinfo.hmtl (link at the bottom of the About | Configuration page.
 
FWIW, -K (debug) doesn't change the logging, it's mostly for the fork() stuff.  Trace level (--trace-level or -t is how you increase the logging), but nothing is going to log every packet - it's just too much data.

Subject: [Ntop] Ntop not collecting data

Hello All,

 

I have a really strange issue.

 

Running ntop 3.1 on Fedora Core2.  I just ran through a quick install (./configure, make, make install) with no problems but when I start up ntop, it's not seeing any data whatsoever.  I've double checked that there's actually data flowing to that interface (SPAN port on a cisco 2950, ran tcpdump and see plenty of packets flying around).  Ntop reports that it puts the correct interface into promiscuous mode (eth1 in this case) started up with correct user, all the pertinent directories are owned by this user, but I still get no data. 

 

I tried throwing it into debug mode (-K) but it doesn't look like it's dumping any more data to syslog

 

I'm stumped.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!
