Subject: RE: [Ntop] Performance and hanging
Ok, I feel like one those idiots on mailing lists now that every hates.
I was looking all over ntop's site, plus Freebsd's site with no luck. I did
google searches, but not specific enough as stated in the doc/FAQs.
Now that I have read some of it, I am going to start over from scratch.
First thing is get rid of 5.4 and go back to 5.1 which is stated to be known
to work.
Thanks and hopefully my next posts will be a little more worthy if needed.

(1) Read the RIGHT FAQ - the one on ntop.org is cr*p. You can get access to
it throught the source or directly from the ntop web server - look on the
1st menu.
(2) Read the articles - if you are in a switched environment you may need
--no-mac.
(3) Name resolution is asynchronous. Just because ntop doesn't know it NOW
does not imply it couldn't learn the resolution later on, either by DNS
sniffing or a direct query - read the article in docs/FAQ.

I don't think it is necessarily a problem with resolving names. I would
think that if it can't resolve a name, it would just list it by IP.
So on that note, any other suggestions?
I looked on ntop.org and didn't see a doc/FAQ. I did find a FAQ under
another section, but nothing about my OS. I also looked on FreeBSD site,
did a search for name resolution and for asynchronous and couldn't find
anything related. Can you be more specific as to where these articles might
be?
Thanks

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
