The menus are just html files.  There is a set for regular mode and a
j_xxx.html set for border sniffer mode.  So the link just hasn't been
deleted.

As to whether/why sessions are disabled, suggest you grep in the code - look
for myGlobals.borderSnifferMode and follow it into initialize.c where it
sets the other flags.

You'll have to figure out which is disabling the session reporting, enable
that one and then see what you get.

Sorry, but I really don't understand -j...

Subject: [Ntop] Session Information when in border sniffer mode


All,
I am using Ntop to monitor traffic on Cisco switches and need to use border
sniffer mode.
When border sniffer mode was first introduced the session information was
still available and by using the sql-host (-b) configuration I was able to
save the sessions into a mySQL database and write reports based on the
information.
The session information is important to me in that I use it to identify who
is talking to whom on my network. This helped me make recommendations on
changing WAN routes and connections and also reposition various servers
(mail, file and application) to more central locations. This information
along with WAN bandwidth usage reports made a complete picture.
Is there anyway to gather the session information using the latest version
of Ntop, while using border sniffer mode?
The fact that the session information is still a menu selection when in
border sniffer mode, makes me think there might be a way. I assume if there
was not that it would have been removed from the menu along with the other
tabs and menu items.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Eugene (Gene) Spiker
