Upgrade to 2.1.53 or .54 or the current cvs.  If you're going to use
development releases, you need to stay near to current. 90 or 100 days is a
long time.

We've discussed memory usage numerous times on this list.  If one of your
users runs a port scan, you'll see 100s or 1000s of new hosts in ntop, all
of which eat memory. 300MB of usage is a lot of hosts, and with only 192MB
you're going to swap.  As ntop walks it's tables for reports and to update
throughput, you're going to swap like heck.

In general, things to check are...
 - what ELSE is running on the ntop host?
 - How much RAM do you have?  Are you swapping?
 - Any messages in the log?
 - Does it go away if you restart?

Subject: [Ntop] ntop becomes hungry


Hi i had build ntop as u can see on which date :
ntop v.2.1.51 MT [i686-pc-linux-gnu] (09/30/02 04:52:39 PM build)

It was working OK, but from yestarday it eats my memory as dog... 'cause it
is working on my desktop machine, i was starting to get sluggish
performance.. and when looked ntop was ~300MB, my comp is with 196MB RAM.
Until yestarday it was working like a charm !!
Nothing was changed until then. From the time it was working to now nothing
new is installed or upgraded i.e. the problem should not be any such
problem..
I'm listening on the cisco flows not on the eth interface... and I'm
starting it like this :

daemon $prog -d -P /arh/work/ntop/ -u ntop -E -w 5555 -L -S 1 --no-mac -m
x.x.x.0/24,192.168.0.0/24

on Mandrake 9.0, manualy compiled

any idea .. thanx
raptor
