= Running Ntop Guide =
This is a quick guide to getting ntop (network top - http://www.ntop.org) running on your system. Ntop will check all incoming and outgoing traffic on your HDA, giving you nice graphs and metrics.
First you need to install ntop:
<pre> root@localhost# yum install ntop </pre>
To run it you type:
<pre> root@localhost# service ntop start </pre>
To view the statistics gathered by ntop:
<pre> http://hda:3000 </pre>
or secure:
<pre> https://hda:3001 </pre>
=Below you can find a sample configuration file for ntop:=
----
<pre> # tells ntop the user id to run as </pre>
<pre> --user ntop </pre>
<pre> #save messages into the system log </pre>
<pre> --use-syslog=daemon </pre>
<pre> # sets the directory that ntop runs from </pre>
<pre> --db-file-path /var/lib/ntop </pre>
<pre> # the amount and severity of messages that ntop will put out </pre>
<pre> --trace-level 3 </pre>
<pre> # limit ntop to listening on a specific interface and port </pre>
<pre> --http-server 3000 --https-server 3001 </pre>
<pre> # specify the interface </pre><pre> --interface eth0 </pre> <pre> # Under certain circumstances, the sched_yield() function causes the ntop web </pre><pre> # server to lock up. It shouldn't happen, but it does. This option causes </pre><pre> # ntop to skip those calls, at a tiny performance penalty. </pre><pre> --disable-schedyield </pre> <pre> # disables "phone home" behavior </pre><pre> --skip-version-check= Running Ntop Guide =yes </pre>---- Troubleshooting:<br>You might need to set a password for ntop before you can access certain parts of the admin panel of ntop. You can set the initial password as described below:
<pre> root@localhost# service ntop stop </pre>
<pre> root@localhost# ntop -A </pre>
<pre> <fill in a password> </pre>
<pre> root@localhost# service ntop start </pre>
