Hi Luca,
When you use -F es.. like this when do flows get sent to Elastic Search? As
they expire? Once a day?
Same question when you use -F db.
Thanks,
Steve

Bruce,
-F db dumps all flows on disk and thus it can quickly exhaust your storage. i
suggest you to write data externally (e.g. -F es...) in ElasticSearch and let
ES implement your retention policy
Cheers Luca

Someone provided great instructions for installing NTOPNG 1.2 on Ubuntu, so I
upgraded my 1.1 to the current release (thank you!). I enabled saving historic
flows (-F option). I noticed that it is eating up a LOT of space, and of course
it is - since storing flows for all traffic on my home LAN is a lot - with some
23 active devices (and a few lower use devices).
Does ntopng re-use database storage when it starts hitting storage constraints?
Is there a utility to just keep the previous X number of days and delete the
rest? My storage utilization was less than 1% when I first started storing
flows. Now I am at 12% in just 2 days or so. What happens when I start bumping
up against storage constraints on my harddrive?
