All the options for the rrd plugin are on the rrd plugin page.  There you
can select what type of info you want to save, at what level of detail, and
various timers for said dumping.  There really is not an "elegant" solution
for persistent storage, especially at a very detailed level.  There is an
rrd doc somewhere on the web related to ntop - perhaps google "ntop rrd" -
it's a pdf about 12 pages long IIRC.  That's about the best I can do.



There are some other options - custom stuff people have done.  One is to use
"wget" every n minutes to save certain web page displays.



Perhaps someone else has a better solution, but AFAIK rrd is the only
embedded / "easy" persistent storage option.

Hi Gary,

Thanks a lot for your quick response.
Would setting rrd.dataDumpInterval to a higher value help?
Alternatively can you point me to any help page / link about storage details
in Ntop?

Thanks in advance

Nope, not by default - it's volatile.  Check rrd configs; it can store SOME
of the details ntop knows about.

Hi,

I have a basic question, so please bare with me.
When running Ntop for a long period of time, does it "dump" the data it has
processed at some point?

Thanks in advance,
