Hi,

I'm seeing an inbound traffic spike at our hosting facility early every morning at roughly the same time through our MRTG and Cacti graphs. We recently installed NTOP to try and pin down the source and destination as well as port/protocol of the traffic, but I haven't been able to do this as effectively as I thought. I know through Cacti which host the traffic is going to, but it has ~10 virtual IP's and due to a limitation of the SNMP protocol I can't limit it to which IP exactly.

But a more general question, is there a good way to get this information with NTOP? Taking a certain time period and identifying the association of a traffic spike; where the data is going to and where it is coming from, and on which port? I really want to drill down during the time period in question but the more detailed stats seem more cumulative.

Should I just be sampling output to a file during the period in question? Are there other useful plugins for this?

Thanks for any help,
James
