Say I click on the interface (tcp://*:5556).  If I then click the tab for 
"historical activity", I see a graph of how much was being used over a period 
of time, which is what I expect.  But next to that is "Protocols".  I'd love to 
keep that data somehow, too.  Also, you added a magnifying glass next to each 
protocol.  If I click that, I only get taken to "active flows".  I have some 
that have many TB of data over time. I'd like to be able to go back and see 
what was using that data and when.

For example, we have a minor bit of slowness in our development network around 
2:00pm every day.  I can't figure out exactly how to find what was using all 
the bandwidth during that time without using a historical interface, but 
unfortunately that takes up so much data that it's basically unusable for me.

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Ntop] How to reduce size of historical interface database

Michael,
if you have this traffic increase then you have a lot of traffic to monitor. is 
this the case? What would you like to save exactly?

We have started to add ElasticSearch support in ntopng, and this is another 
option to use instead of SQlite. But all these are experiments until we find a 
solution we like.

Does anyone has a suggestion perhaps?

Regards Luca

It looks like SQLite (which I am not familiar with, unfortunately) is just a 
series of plain text files.  Is there any way to compress this or just store 
the overall usage data?  Without historical data, this utility isn't nearly as 
useful.

Thanks for anyone who can offer a suggestion!
