Read a CURRENT docs/FAQ. -S has been gone for 2+
years.
It's available on your ntop instance on the Help menu
item.
-----Burton From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sylvain Massy Sent: Wednesday, September 07, 2005 2:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Ntop] Lost data This is what I foundQ. I start ntop with "-S 2" in order to store traffic statistics. Unfortunately when I restart ntop the stats are gone. What's wrong?A. "-S" enables ntop to store on the disk host traffic statistics. This means that is host XYZ was seen by ntop in a previous run, the host traffic statistics are stored on disk so that the next time ntop is restarted (or if the entry was purged from memory and needs to be resurrected) the host information is not empty but the traffic statistics start from the data saved on disk. Note that hosts are resurrected *only* when ntop sees traffic for such hosts. This means that when you restart ntop you *won't* see all the hosts ntop saw when it stopped, but ntop populates its memory as usual with the difference that host statistics won't start from scratch but from the saved data.
It means that I need to
put back the server where it was in the first place (or have my server see
theses hosts) to get my stat back? Am I misunderstanding everything, I am new to
all that stuff so a little help will be
appreciated. Thanks Sylvain

Sylvain Massy Hi, Heres my situation, I have sent a
pc with Ntop installed at another site, with the ip address of this place(let
say 192.168.0.1) it did a look up of all activities from pc to servers (wanted
to know witch pc was using the most bandwidth of a particular server).
The pc was sent back to me with
around a month of data. I connected the pc to my network with another address
(90.0.0.1) and tried to extract the data with a dump
No success! The result
Ive got was only from the 90.x.x.x address range, everything with the address
192.x.x.x is not shown. I know that there is data because I can see in the graph
that there was activity during the previous month. I tried a little test by changing
the address to something like 10.x.x.x and again I have lost everything, all the
data present with the range 90.x.x.x has disappeared.
How can I extract old data with
different address range? Do I have to put back the initial
address? Thank
you. Sylvain
