Re: [Ntop] Ntop + procurve

[Jeremiah Bright]

I currently am using MRTG to monitor..... but there is something not right that I can't put my finger on.  For example, I have it monitor ports D1-D4 and also they are all in a trunk called trk1. The trunk may only show a peak usage of 68mbits but one of the links in the trunk may show 120mbit/sec of usage.  However it calculates the data is not the way I want it to. Before I implemented gigabit trunks between edge switches and my core switch MRTG was not reporting any maxed out connections, but once the trunks were in we definitely noticed better response for our applications on the network. I need something more accurate than MRTG, or I need to know how to make MRTG more accurate if it can be. I was hoping ntop + sflow would do this.

If you just want to measure traffic on a switch, I would point you at MRTG

Subject: [Ntop] Ntop + procurve

Is there a good way to measure throughput on trunks of an hp procurve
switch? I was looking into sflow + ntop but I'm not sure on the
configuration of it, I'd much rather gather info from my HP switch than
anything that has to do with the nic card on the box im running ntop on.
Does anyone have this setup currently? If so what is the method for
configuration?
