If you would like an example of how to leverage ntop
for traffic accounting, check out my whitepaper in the user contrib area on
sourceforge titled NTOP_Usage_Tracking.pdf

Subject: [Ntop] Newbie questions
I just installed ntop in the laboratory at my university, I searched a lot looking for a manual or something like it that could help me at the beginnig. Everything I found was much superficial, outdated or both. hehe
I'd like to know if there is any documentation (a paper, a how-to, anything) that could help me with the basics about how ntop works. Everything seems very simple after ntop is running, it collects lots of data and show many spreeadsheets and graphs. But I'd like to know how it works, and I do have some doubts.
One thing I want to do, and I don' know if its possible, is to use the information that ntop gather to figure out which web-sites the people here at the lab is acessing (and then maybe block some of them). For that I redirect the port of our gateway to the machine that's running ntop. Then I saw the statistics at IP Summary -> Traffic, to see the host (in this case, servers) that were acessed using http. Everything was fine untill I realize that one of the hosts vanished, it seems that ntop only show a list of a few last (maybe in the last hour, or something) acessed hosts, is that correct?? If so, there are anyway that I can have this information using ntop? Maybe a log...
If there are many english mistakes, I'm really sorry, I'm brazillian and I don't pratice that much...
Thanks for the attention,
Rafael Barbosa
