Overview
This HowTo explains the procedure for setting up an ntop session and producing on demand host geolocations rendered on either a Mercator World Map projection or on a KML Earth Browser such as Google Earth, Google Maps or Marble.
One of the goals of the NST WUI is to provide a web-based front-end to numerous open source network security applications. Trying to build out a web-based interface that has a common look-and-feel across the vast spectrum of applications is a daunting task.
ntop Setup
This section describes how to setup an ntop session using the NST WUI.
The image above depicts the NST WUI ntop setup management page. Use the following steps to setup an ntop session.
ntop Runtime Management
Once an ntop session is up and running, one can now produce on demand host geolocations.
