ntop is a network probe that shows network usage in a way similar to what top does for processes. In interactive mode, it displays the network status on the user's terminal. In Web mode, it acts as a Web server, creating an HTML dump of the network status. It sports a NetFlow/sFlow emitter/collector, an HTTP-based client interface for creating ntop-centric monitoring applications, and RRD for persistently storing traffic statistics. ntop needs to run under its own user/group. This has been assigned to the following by SlackBuilds.org, but feel free to change it on your system for consistency with local assignments. User: ntop UID: 212 GID: 212 group: ntop GID: 212 You can change pass alternate values for the user and group using NTOPUSER and NTOPGROUP variables when running the build script. Logs are placed in /var/log/ntop/ and will be rotated every week. The log rotation will restart the ntop server which will reset the ntop statistics. If you want to keep the statistics you have to edit or delete the /etc/logrotate.d/ntop file. For some important post-build and basic configuration instructions, see the included 'README.SLACKWARE' file.
