ntop stores the values in 60 buckets for the prior minutes and 24 buckets for the prior hours, plus lifetime values.
If persistent data isn't used, it should be obvious how it works. Values for periods not seen are zero. Lifetime is from the start of ntop til now. If persistent data IS used, ntop reloads the data when it first sees the host and continues processing from there. This can lead to odd results if you restart ntop frequently... As a simple example, say you run ntop from 8a to 1p, stop it and start again at 6p. At 7 pm, the hourly buckets actually hold: 6p 1p 12n 11a 10a 9a 8a But will be reported as 6p, 5p, 4p, 3p, 2p, etc. Complexity is left to the beholder. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Evren Yurtesen Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 5:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] time period of reports Hi, What is the time period of the "Info about host XYZ" pages? and others? Is it the last 24 hours or since ntop started or is there a way the determine the period somehow? or is it something about "First/Last Seen" Evren _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
