 Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2005 9:07 am Post subject: Monitoring networkload on a Gentoo-server form windows |
 |
|
My boss wants to know what's going on on his network.
So, what I'm looking for is some server prog that I can run on the Gentoo-server (that acts
as router/gateway) that can be accessed from a windows computer.
I tried ntop, as far as I could see, this prog did what I wanted and could be accesses with
a browser. Unfortunately, no matter what I try, I can't get a connetion with a browser to
the ntop-port.
So if someone knows a solution to this or a good alternative, Iam very glad to hear.
Thanks!  |

Edit the ntop config and allow access from other addresses than just localhost.
Or you could use mrtg, which needs snmp setup on all devices you want to monitor, but once it runs it is very slick.

What is the configuration file of ntop? This is all I have in /etc/ntop/
| Code: |
etter.passive.os.fp.gz
ntop-cert.pem
oui.txt.gz
p2c.opt.table.gz
specialMAC.txt.gz

Sounds cool, can you be more specific how to do that? A howto would be great!  |

What does
| Code: | | netstat -ltpn |grep ntop |
show you ?
IOW at what port does it listen and from what addresses does it accept connections ?
IIRC ntop has a built-in HTTP server so you could probably configure it... from ntop.

netstat -ltpn |grep ntop, gives nothing.
It is really stupid but it seems ntop didn't run at all 
Starting ntop did't give any errors so I didn't really thought about that...
Starting ntop without the init-scrip gives some weird errors, like this:
| Code: |
**FATAL_ERROR** INITWEB: ssl binding problem - 'Permission denied'(13)
|
It seems getting ntop working is a bit more complex than I expected. Does someone
know some good docs/howto's that give some more light on this? |
