Hmmmm - sounds like you've done the basics and then some.  Have you
checked the netflow statistics for each instance to ensure they're both
receiving the same number of flows, etc?  Maybe post some of your config
info - I've had typo's before that 5 people missed.  After dozens of
hours trying to fix it someone discovers a missing "." or whatever.

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
