It would be nice if ntop could keep cumulative stats on hosts, i cant see this taking up much space, just dump local hosts hourly usage and throughput to a db so it could be pulled up.
It makes tracking hard when you cant view what a host has been doing for the past few days, like to find people with viruses, doing lots of transfers, etc. i am trying sticky hosts to see if it helps me. mike --- Gary Gatten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think it's in the FAQ - - but maybe not. > > Some of the stats are kept for a 24 hour sliding > window.
