I've installed ntop v5.0 on a fresh Debian 6.0.5 server (32-bit), but
I'm still having problems with ntop crashing at random times. Most
recently it run from July 31 @ 16:52:17 until August 1 @  17:23:46, then
just stopped. I'm running with trace level 5 (just changed to 6) but it
doesn't provide any insight.

 

I was getting the crashes on an old Debian server that also runs Nagios
and some other things so I decided it deserved its own dedicated server
(physical, not virtual) but I also get the crashes on the new system. On
the old system I tried both 5.0 and the development version, no
difference.

 

Do I just need to stop/start ntop every hour to keep it running??

 

The machine process a steady stream of packets at 9 to 27 Mb/s. Older
Core Duo processor at 1.66GHz and 2GB memory. Not a fast box but
shouldn't have trouble keeping up with less than 30Mb/s of traffic. Load
average typically 0.01, CPU at < 25%, memory @ < 50%.
