Discussion:
[Ntop] Data not persisting through service restart or reboot (MySQL setup)

Hey all,

Between last night and today, I setup nprobe and ntopng with MySQL. My
goal is to be able to look at the busiest hosts over a certain period of
time, where traffic went etc.

It was a real pain getting it going, but it's up, running, and showing me
data. The problem I'm having is that the data doesn't appear to persist
through a service restart.

I've spent hours looking in to this but I appear to have everything correct.

Server is Ubuntu 16.04 with plenty of horsepower.

My ntopng.conf (the defaults are there, just commented out):

--interface="tcp://127.0.0.1:1234"
--http-port=3000
--local-networks
--community
-F "mysql;localhost;ntopng;ntopng;ntopng;mysqlpassword"


My nprobe.conf:

-i=none
-n=none
-3=2055
--zmq="tcp://127.0.0.1:1234"


By everything I can see, there is not now nor has there been an issue
connecting to MySQL, I can get in via the creds above on command line.

One weird thing that might be the culprit is when I go in to MySQL and I do
a `SELECT * from flowsv4`, I get an obscene amount of gibberish output with
what seems like useful numbers. Is my table corrupt somehow? Any other
ideas you all might have as to why I can't retain data?
