# ntop Data Dump

ntop is able to dump traffic data in various formats (e.g. text, perl, php) so that external programs can use this data for further processing, such as storage in a database. This page is the access point for these HTTP data dumps.

You may also use other tools, such as wget, if you construct the equivalent command. For example, to dump key per-host data in php format,

    wget -O ntop-20040123.php "http://127.0.0.1:3000/dumpData.html?language=php&view=short"

which gives:

    $ntopHash = array(
    '192.168.3.2' => array(
            'hostSymIpAddress' => 'xxx.ntop.org',
            'pktSent' => '1031',
            'pktRcvd' => '922',
      ...
            'icmpRcvd' => '0',
    ),
    ...
