Re: [Ntop] NTOP Stoping without a Reason

[Luke Saunders]

Is this for NTOP or for NetraMet? Which would be the best package for accounting? I work for a company that does RF ISP. I need to find a package that will accurately track how much data each client downloads/uploads and uses an SQL database.   Regards Luke     ----- Original Message ----- From: Serge Maandag To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2002 6:52 PM Subject: RE: [Ntop] NTOP Stoping without a Reason You could also have a look at NetraMet or you could do accounting by adding an ACCEPT rule for every ip address in your packet filter and enable it's accounting, like   -s 1.1.1.1 -j ACCEPT -s 1.1.1.2 -j ACCEPT -s 1.1.1.3 -j ACCEPT -s 0/0      -j DENY   That way you can secure the accounting and use ntop for real time stats, like tracking sessions.   Serge. -----Original Message----- From: Rafael Rodrigo - NSINET [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: maandag 24 juni 2002 22:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ntop] NTOP Stoping without a Reason MRTG is good, but ntop is exactly that I need. I need to see traffic by host(how iptraf do) to, in end of month, know how machines use the network and know what things the machines are doing. Example:   192.168.0.1: Transmit: 120 Mb Receive: 100 Mb Active TCP sessions: 192.168.77.1:80 <--> 200.255.214.60:3201   192.168.0.2: Transmit: 200 Mb Receive: 100 Mb Active TCP sessions: 192.168.77.1:80 <--> 200.255.214.60:3201 ...   NTOP is better tool that I found.   This thing iptraf do, but it don't save statistics. Ntop save if it was stoped normaly (don't if it crashes).   But i'm using MRTG too. It�s very good to see the total Router Bandwidth usage.   Thanks, Rafael Rodrigo M.

All traffic is only going for Internet. I don't have a samba/windows network or anything as it. My Internet Link is of 512Kbps, then the max network traffic is 512Kbps.   Well, the compile was fine, and NTOP run fine during 3 days. But now it stops without a reason. And I lost all traffic counted by NTOP. I am using the flag -S1 save all network traffic, but it don't work now. I am using the current stable version of gdbm database.   The only thing that I think that can justify it, is a Hacker attack to a machine monitored by NTOP. This attack cause a total traffic of 1.1 Gigabytes on my network, during about 15 hours. But NTOP stops 5 hours after I stop the Hacker.   Somebody can help-me ?? If somebody knows a better tool to count monthly traffic on a network by machines, please tell me. But I think that this is the better tool.   Sorry by the bad english.   Thanks, Rafael Rodrigo M.
