[Ntop] How can I stop Ntop from resetting log data each time itrestarts

[Dean Ezra]

hi,

Thanks for you reply,

I will look into rrd and the dump options.

Although, I dont  think the data is only in memory, coz it writes  
database files to the folllowing dir:

/opt/local/var/ntop

And the ntop binary, specifically states on the terminal on startup  
that it is reseting the data.

I think I will look through the code for the terminal output where it  
reset and comment that part out.

Regards

Dean

Configure and Enable rrd plugin or do the data dump thing in the
utilities menu.  From what I understand, certain data or views or data
exist in memory resident tables only and "can't" be saved, but maybe the
rrd or dump options will work OK for you?

Hi,

I am using ntop on my Mac laptop to monitor bandwidgth usage and have
noticed that everytime that NTOP is restarted its log of bandwidth
use is reset.

Obviously this is not great for monitoring usage, as my laptop will
get rebooted every so often (which restarts ntop).

Does anyone know how I can stop the resetting of logs between restarts?

I appreciate any help.

Regards

Dean
