Screenshot About:
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.

[»] Extra Layer7 defs?
by Scott - Sep 5th 2005 17:09:17

Anyone know of a way to add extra Layer 7 defs to ntop so instead of "Unknown" it will display the application that is being used. Like it does www, smtp, ssh, etc. But for those it does not know it just says UNKNOWN.

Netfilter has a package of Layer7 defs, but I want to add that to ntop...

[»] what happened to the good ntop
by elmuhfuh - Aug 13th 2004 22:58:57

when i ran linux i ran a console only ntop, it was like top only for network ( i could guess thats why it was called ntop). the last few years ive been lazy and stuck with netstat. tonight i decided to try out the ntop that i loved in the past. wtf is this, an embedded webserver, ssl, all kinds of shit. this should no longer be ntop as its veered very far away from top. this should be called nsomethingnew. either release ntopOS or leave it be.

[»] Pretty good except for stability
by PaulM - May 10th 2002 08:05:15

I downloaded a snapshot to upgrade and although it built perfectly wasn't stable, nor did the HTTPS server work; had to revert to older version which is better, but still locks up.

Documentation is a bit sparse, I haven't found easily how to use my own X509 certificate.

It'll be good if it gets to a stable release with better docs (although I will probably contribute to these).

    Snapshots are just that - a snapshot of the development. We've just released 2.1, which has addressed the know stability problems (will there be others... yeah sure). Please give it a try! -----Burton

[»] Problem running on RH 7.2
by Anthony - Feb 6th 2002 16:01:51

I just compiled ntop (followed the directions in ntop/docs/BUILD-NTOP.txt) and everything worked fine. However, when I try to run ntop it spits out the following error:

Wait please: ntop is coming up...
06/Feb/2002 16:06:48 SSL is present but https is disabled: use -W <https port> for enabling it
06/Feb/2002 16:06:48 Initializing IP services...

06/Feb/2002 16:06:48 Database '/usr/local/var/ntop/dnsCache.db' open failed: File open error
06/Feb/2002 16:06:48 Possible solution: please use '-P <directory>'

Is there something I'm missing here? I'm not sure what the dnsCache.db file is, my guess is something to do with DNS but I'm probably wrong.

    Anthony,

    i think there is something wrong with the make install script,

    but create /usr/local/var/ntop directory and that should get you started.

      Thanks, I don't know if what you provided helped Anthony, but I was having the same problem, now I'm functional.

    If you are already giving a -P parameter, then the problem is either

    1) ntop is already running
    2) you don't have read/write access to the -P directory
    3) The directory doesn't exist

[»] Segmentation Fault
by Casey McGinty - Jan 26th 2002 16:23:44

This program needs detailed installation instructions.
I think i did everything to build correctly, but I still get a segmentation fault before the program gets fully running. I can not build the files with the debug option due to compilation errors. Here is the output.

[»] One great program
by Zarlox - Sep 22nd 1999 13:52:03

I have been looking for a good console monitoring program like this for my gateway for some time now. And along comes ntop, truly a great program. I was thinking about a console only based program. But then comes ntop and blows my mind away with a really nice web based interface to all the statistics. This is really a program I hope to see in all the major Linux distributions.
