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? -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of raptor Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 8:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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 _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
