ntop 3.x cannot answer you're right. The one I;m cooking will be able to give you both metrics/graphs and evidence of such traffic. I need some more months of work. That's should explain why the mainstream ntop is slowly moving. stay tuned.

PS. Anyone willing to provide me an account on FreeBSD machines where the ntop bug shows up?

OK, I have another example that I believe is similar to yours:

I have a end user system that at 2AM this morning sent 1.5GB of data somewhere. Who received this data and what was it? nTop can not easily answer this for me – that I know of. I don’t have rrd configured to store enough detail due to lack of disk space, but if I did I *THINK* it could be used with arbitrary graphs/reports to get what you and I (and everyone) would need to answer this question.

I would LOVE this functionality. Traffic Matrix is close, but far from ideal. Seems nTop stores at least some of the necessary data, so perhaps it wouldn’t be TOO difficult to tweak?

Subject: Re: [Ntop] per host pair data?

Active/current is before the session info times out and is purged and no longer available on reports. Ntop is good "what's happening right now" tool, but getting "detailed" history not as easy.

Have u tried traffic map and matrix? Ill be back at my desk in a few and can check further

What defines "active / current"?  If by that you mean all traffic seen
since ntop was started, then yes I would like to see "active / current". I have a host that communicates with about 40-50 other hosts, I need to know
who is it talking to the most (or say the top 5 talkers), what was the
volume, and what protocol(s).

Thanks!

> If the traffic is active / current its easy. If its in the past, much more difficult - at least from my knowledge. Which are you interested in? If past, ill need to research - I can't think of an "easy" way to get that info in a pretty little picture. Probably with rrd if you're exporting the
right info.

with host a, how much data flowed, and what kind of data was it"
