[Fwd: [Ntop] Monitoring Service Usage]

[Burton Strauss]

Read the back traffic on this list.  We strongly recommend a separate server
for ntop - it's sensitive to available memory and can use quite a lot of
disk space.  But there are people running successfully on shared servers.

You'll probably want to look into filtering and some of the other options to
keep the number of monitored hosts down.

Something I forgot to mention..

The server has only 1 IP, but is hosting multiple domains.  Not sure if this
makes a difference?

Many thanks

All

I am doing some work for a company who are starting up as an ISP and online
application provider.  They have a few clients and they are keen to monitor
how much bandwidth each client uses on a per protocol basis (http, smtp,
pop3, ftp).

Due to the setup of their network it is not possible to have a seperate
machine for monitoring network activity, and the monitoring sofware will
have to run on the server (one server provides all the services at the
moment).

I was wondering if you guys could confirm that ntop would be a suitable tool
for this kind of thing, and give any general pointers.

They are running Windows 2003 server environment.

Many thanks in advance

Lewis
