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.
