>Description:
Disabling netflow plugin debug in the web admin gui has no effect. Debug messages are sent to syslog regardless:

Jun  9 10:08:17 anthony ntop[48662]:   >>>> NETFLOW: handleGenericFlow() called
Jun  9 10:08:17 anthony ntop[48662]:   DEBUG: <source_IP>:53035 -> <destination_ip>:80 [last=1986646253][first=1986634280][last-first=12]

The resulting message volume is huge.
>How-To-Repeat:
In the ntop web gui, click on:

Plugins->NetFlow->View/Configure

Click "Edit NetFlow Device"

In the "Debug" section, select the "Off" radio button, click "Set Debug"

Restart ntop, tail -f /var/log/messages
