I do recall the libpcap polling issue, but in this instance I'm using
"-i none" as I'm strictly using netflow.  If I understand correctly that
completely disables libpcap and therefore polling is a none issue -
right?

 

If I can get the graphic images to display that would be nice too.  I
made some change to perms and might try again, but I'm not hopeful as
the user ntop has the same perms when running 3.2 or 3.3.

Remember the old discussions on libpcap turning the request into polls?
That will peg the CPU, but it's artificial - any real work wins.

Sounds like something has broken that?

3.2 / 3.2.1 works "perfectly".  It will die on occasion for no apparent
reason (signal 11 mostly) - but graphics work (pie charts, rrd, etc) and
CPU usage is minimal.  

 

 

I've spent 20+ hours updating libraries, dependencies, recompiling, etc
and can't get 3.3.3 to work.  No graphics and CPU is pegged at 100% from
the time it starts until I kill it.  The whole time the udp "interface"
RCV queues (netflow devices) are maxed out as well.  I had to go back to
3.2 just to get this system back online.

 

Anyone else have similar experience when upgrading?

 

What are the diffs between 3.2 and 3.3 that could cause such a huge
difference in CPU?  I noticed a compiler Warning on "schedule.h" I'll
post Monday - gotta run for now.
