We were originally running ntop and all my questions to this forum received the 
same response - "UPGRADE TO ntopng".  Now I've upgraded to ntopng and I have 
several questions I was hoping to get some answers for:

Question #1:
For a large enterprise with numerous different branch sites, what is the most 
effective way to "categorize" those sites based on their IP subnet? In other 
words if I take the following 3 sites:
1.  Atlanta Site  / Subnet 10.10.10.0/24
2.  NY Site          /  Subnet 10.10.20.0/24
3.  Chicago Site / Subnet 10.10.30.0/24
Is there a way within ntopng - to ask for ALL netflow data on a per site basis? 
 In other words - "ntopng....would you please tell me EVERYTHING you know about 
the Atlanta site?"

Question #2:
This question pertains to historical reporting and what, to me, appears to be a 
lack of ability of ntopng to allow a network administrator to effectively use 
this tool for troubleshooting.  I don't know one network administrator that 
sits in front of a monitoring appliance and watches real time data waiting for 
a network anomaly to occur in real time.  This tool seems to be real time 
focused and appears to not have a robust ability to view and analyze historical 
traffic.

Is there a way, within ntopng, to view historical data on a per site basis?  In 
other words - "ntopng....would you please tell me EVERTHING you know about the 
Atlanta site that occurred yesterday between 2:00PM - 4:00PM?

If the historical data CANNOT be presented on a per site basis - can this 
historical data be presented in a way that allows one to take advantage of the 
following feature?

https://svn.ntop.org/svn/ntop/trunk/ntopng/doc/UserGuide.pdf
3.2. What ntopng can do for me?
* Analyse IP traffic and sort it according to the source/destination

To what degree can I sort historical IP traffic based on source / destination?

Thanks,

Amir
