Why are some of the host names in different colors?
A. Colors are used on several of the ntop pages to convey extra information to the user. (in particular the ACTIVE TCP SESSIONS and the LOCAL HOST STATS pages). There are five colors used to depict how long ago the host was first seen by ntop. The pages which display these colors use a html style sheet called style.css located in the normal html subdirectory (where ntop is installed). This happens by setting the ‘class=’ parameter of the html ‘A’ (Anchor or hyper-link) tag.
