Hello All,

I have been implementing ntop into an embedded firewall appliance that I have 
been building for some clients recently that is based on IPCOP.  I include ntop 
to do basic network monitoring; but, invariably, when I show clients how to 
access ntop and view network usage, they want to know how to view a historical 
snapshot of a host's internet usage.  I would define this functionality as 
"network surveillance" - people who want to keep tabs on employees internet 
usage in pretty specific terms - what apps were run, what sites they visited 
and how long they were there.  

Can ntop be utilized in some way to get this sort of view?  It seems that ntop 
works very well at looking at a snapshot of recent network activity and 
drilling into that snapshot very well, but not so well for collecting this sort 
of historical data and viewing host usage in general terms.

I'm having trouble putting my finger on software that seems specifically geared 
towards doing what these customers are asking me for.  

Thanks,

Dave Redmore
