Which version of ntop is this?

You should also read the articles in docs/FAQ on FreeBSD...  Similarly
the articles on name resolution (hint: it's asynchronous).

Subject: [Ntop] Performance and hanging


I just got ntop up and running on FreeBSD 5.4 stable.  Nothing else is
running on this machine.  The performance is terrible, within the first
few minutes of starting the ntop service I can get to most pages viewing
hosts etc. After about five minutes about the only page I can get to is
the Traffic summary.  If I try and view Summary - Hosts, it acts like it
is loading but then eventually times out.  We have about 750 clients on
our network.  I am monitoring the port in which our firewall is plugged
into so I can get all traffic to the internet.  Our main switch is a
6500 series and I am spanning the port our PIX 525 is plugged into.

It also looks like it may not be resolving names correctly.  For example
I uploaded a big file to a server on the internet.  Under IP - Traffic -
Summary it shows the server I am uploading to at the very top.  Below
that is a machine that matches the data amount in the data column, yet
the name showing up is not the name of the machine I am using.  Also I
am using FTP and nothing is showing up in the FTP column.

There server is a HP DL380, 1.4Ghz, 1.5Gb ram, 4 x 18gb drives in raid 5
I believe.  This server also has two gigabit ethernet nics.  One is used
to watch the traffic, the other is used to access the box.

I am a newbie to both unix and ntop, so I don't know really what to do
to begin troubleshooting this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Alan
