How to configure ntop so I can get the amount of upload traffic sent through a certain port ?

I've added port in ntop/protocol.list, restarted ntop and after some time I've checked Summary -> Traffic -> TCP/UDP Traffic Port Distribution: Last Minute View, but data from that table is not too relevant.

I think there is much more about this ntop that I don't know (configuration, usage).
