If, as you seem to have, you've eliminated the obvious (bugs in that code
tend to be an all or nothing), then it's almost certainly a traffic issue.

 

For some reason, having to do with your setup, ntop really is seeing the
same traffic twice.  For example, you have the no-mac flag set (implicit
with netflow) and are seeing both sides of the router.  The second flow
representing a->b is a dup of the 1st, but the only place we figure that out
is the rrd update.

Subject: [Ntop] missing pie charts and RRD debugs

 

I had 3.2.1 working "fine" on FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE.  Tried going to the
latest on SVN and had some issues.  Got past some, but still have missing
Pie charts - as in NONE!  Installed 3.3.8 and have the same problem.  I went
down to 3.3.8 because of the problem with "[warn] kevent: Bad file
descriptor" I was getting on 3.3.10.

 

Also, I have (3) instances of nTop on the same system.  In only one instance
rrd is spewing MANY errors similar to those below.  I've deleted the rrd dir
several times and restarted the rrd plugin and ntop to no avail.  I don't
quite understand why only one instance is having this issue?  Also, I'm
using the same prefsCache.db as 3.2.1, so all the settings from rrd are the
same as the working 3.2.1 version.  I also double-checked them and tweaked a
couple, but still no love!    This instance DOES have multiple netflow
interfaces where there others only have a single one - maybe that's part of
it?  Each interface has it's own dir so not sure WHY it would have a
problem..  TIA for any help!  Gary
