Hi Gary, et al,

Based on my past experiences, I was a little afraid/embarrassed to even post 
again ;-)   However, this was different.  I have two identical processes 
running - receiving identical streams of flows from the router and one just 
looks at 129.82.236.0/22 and one looks at all of 129.82.0.0/16.  The one for 
the /22 has more traffic than the one for the /16 when you look at the network 
load graphs!

It is possible that the data files are corrupt - I can try clearing things out 
and checking again, but I've actually duplicated this problem on several 
different ntop boxes and different source routers(I have one for each of our 5 
core routers) and I see the same results.

I'm pretty sure, with your previous help, I have the routers configured 
properly as  I analyzed one of the network's traffic to ensure the proper 
throughput.  It seems to be right each time....it's just that this problem 
really made me start to question it again.

I'll have to look at host clusters too - haven't done that yet ;-)


Thanks again and as always!! --Greg

Hey Greg - same issue again huh?  The graphs can definitely be frustrating - 
they seem to have various and sometime numerous issues.

Just for kicks, how about wiping the data files/directories and restarting?  
Maybe something is corrupted? If you want the existing data you can always 
rename it instead of wiping it.

If I remember you have quite a complex config.  Are you certain netflow is 
configured correctly everywhere - capturing the right traffic in the directions 
you want on the interfaces you want?

Have you tried "Host Clusters"?  Might give you some of what you want - generic 
"network wide" type stats - convenient for grouping and stuff.

Subject: [Ntop] Network Load graphs


Hello,

I'm running ntop3.2 compiled from code on an FC6 box.

I have several ntop processes running one one box and listening for
flows on separate ports.   This is to provide separate information for
"subnets" under our larger Class B network range.  For example, we are 
interested in seeing stats specific to the network for our Veterinary School as 
compared to the stats for our Education school...each of which resides on 
separate address spaces in our Class B network but "reside"
off the same physical router.

These processes have their "local-subnets" defined as the network range 
corresponding to the various colleges.  I also have a process which defines a 
local-subnet as our entire Class B as I'm curious to get a picture of all 
traffic going in/out of the router.

The odd thing is that the network load graph (Summary -> Network Load) for the 
entire ClassB is *less* than that for each of the colleges.
This doesn't make sense to me.  You'd think that the various subnets under our 
Class B would add up to the total for the Class B!?  So, for example, our 
Veterinary School's network load  graph shows an average of
16.2 Mbits, but the total for our entire Class B off that same router shows 
16.0Mbits.

Given these are different processes, each analyzing flow data from the same 
router, they should be seeing the same thing, yet they are coming up with 
conflicting reports.


I'm not sure why this is, and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or has seen 
similar results?

Thank you --Greg Redder
