One of the most common questions people as is how to dump ntop data into a database. Well there are scripts to do that for a MySQL database on sourceforge.net.
However, within ntop, just click Utils|Data Dump to show the following dialog box:

You can dump data about different objects into different formats – see the ntop guide for the formats. Some of these formats are importable into a spreedsheet and from there you can unleash the full power of Open Office Calc or Excel unto your traffic data.

Hello,
I`ve got a question referring to dumping data in a mySQL database:
I`am using ntop v3.3 on a suse linux machine and want to dump the traffic data into a mySQL database on the same machine. Therefore I read many of documentations but none of them are working in my case. The -b option dont exists anymore, etc…
Furthermore I searched for a script at sourceforge.net, but I only found a script for reports out of a mySQL database.
How is the way to dump the traffic in a database automatically with my ntop version?
Sorry for the maybe stupid questions, but ntop is something new for me
Thanks & Greetings from Germany
