What is "ntop host name"? Ntop "sniffs" name res requests, but I don't think it 
looks in http headers for url connects, does it?

If you have the right detail enabled in the rrd plugin, there's a basic gui 
graph function in ntop to get at said data. Perhaps if you compile with sql it 
will give you more options?

Subject: Re: [Ntop] Using ntop to Track Traffic Over an Extended 
Period,sticky-hosts 


Gary, basically bytesSent and bytesRcvd accumulated over a period of at least a 
week.  Also the ntop hostname, which for HTTP sites is often more useful than 
the nslookup information.  With the hostname I can consolidate traffic from 
sites that show up with different IPs. 

I see where the RRD data is being stored.  I have read Burton Strauss' 2003 
paper but am not much further in figuring out how to get useful summary 
information out of the XML dump.  I think I need to look at the AVERAGE (300 
seconds) section, convert bits/second into bytes and sum across the period I am 
interested in.  I assume the other AVERAGE seconds are 'rollups' of the data. 
        thanks, Norbert
