I'm not an nTop expert by any stretch, but from what I know nTop was not
designed for such functions and would likely take a fair amount of
external scripting add the functionality desired.

If I'm not mistaken Ethereal supports various pattern matching,
triggers, actions, etc.  I'm not certain of this, but would be a good
place to start.

If you have Cisco gear (perhaps other vendors as well) there's a number
of ways to address this, some better than others of course.

Hi all,
I'd like to use ntop as an active monitoring tool in such a way that
if
it detects a user-defined condition, it starts a user-defined action.
For example, if it detects the use of MSN messenger from ip x.x.x.x it
alerts the network admin, or it starts an external script.

Can ntop do such a work?

Thanks in advance
Stefano
