... and not so smart people should read too, I just wanted some feedback on this one. Im not %100 sure about my answer here so Im hoping someone else will read and correct if Im mistaken.
YOu would have to restart NTOP every 24 hours for those stats to be accurate. NTOP will just merge the statistics collected from the previous day, which will keep growing .... and growing ... If it does average the merged stats, I guess it can be useful (for some) until someone downloads a 800MB CD and f's up that hour(s). If someone knows, or can distinguish from the code how or if the averaging is taking place that would be great. NTOP at this point is meant to be used interactively, daily, depending on what kind of statistics you need. Hopefully some day you will be able to crank up NTOP and let it go. If Im not mistaken, if you send NetFlow data from your network device (Cisco router or switch), you can get accurate 60 minutes and 24 hours from the NetFlow Device statistics. If you do send NetFLow, goto the stats tab, then network load, and click on one of the graphs. However, it only shows like the top 3 hosts (It would be cool if we could change that to like maybe the 5 tops hosts, or even more). SO I think here, NTOP only reports on current rather than accumulated data? If someone knows if this is correct or not, please let me know. It would be nice if NTOP would/could perge statistics every 24 hours and retain the hourly statistics per host (or whatever statistics NTOP can retain effectively). However I think this under development and will be available in future releases of NTOP. NOte: apologies Firsto Lasto if you were not ready to read this reply yet ... next time I will check with you first'o :) Last'o, bye!
