Hello there,
I just installed ntop in the laboratory at my university, I searched a lot
looking for a manual or something like it that could help me at the
beginnig. Everything I found was much superficial, outdated or both. hehe
I'd like to know if there is any documentation (a paper, a how-to, anything)
that could help me with the basics about how ntop works. Everything seems
very simple after ntop is running, it collects lots of data and show many
spreeadsheets and graphs. But I'd like to know how it works, and I do have
some doubts.
One thing I want to do, and I don' know if its possible, is to use the
information that ntop gather to figure out which web-sites the people here
at the lab is acessing (and then maybe block some of them). For that I
redirect the port of our gateway to the machine that's running ntop. Then I
saw the statistics at IP Summary -> Traffic, to see the host (in this case,
servers) that were acessed using http. Everything was fine untill I realize
that one of the hosts vanished, it seems that ntop only show a list of a few
last (maybe in the last hour, or something) acessed hosts, is that correct??
If so, there are anyway that I can have this information using ntop? Maybe a
log...
If there are many english mistakes, I'm really sorry, I'm brazillian and I
don't pratice that much...
Thanks for the attention,
Rafael Barbosa
