Hi Christina,

You're not doing anything wrong :-)

Ntopng stores ip addresses as 32-bit long, it's far more efficient in several 
ways.
AFAIK Grafana has no tools which will directly help you, but the following may 
be a route forwards;

Ultimately a Grafana query is just a SQL query when pulling data from MySQL, 
and MySQL has functions for converting long integers into dotted notation IP 
addresses and vice versa.
So you could tweak your select statements to apply the function to data coming 
from MySQL.

Look for INET_NTOA, INET_ATON, INET6_NTOA, INET6_ATON functions

Subject: [Ntop] exporting ntopng to mysql

ATTENTION: External email - This message has been sent from outside LV=.
Background:

New system - running compiled 3.8.1 with nDPI 3.0 (both from git).  Ntopng 
works properly via the web interface.  However, it appears that the IP 
addresses in the mysql database appear as integers - however the web interface 
renders them properly.

If I do a table lookup in Grafana - I end up with integers.

What did I do wrong?
