Re: Disappearing ntopng menu items

I'm still seeing this problem. I don't want to use --disable-autologout. Once it happens, there's no option in the interface to logout so that I can log in again. The dropdown that normally contains the logout option (looks like a power button) is gone from the top menu. The only way around it is to add "logout.lua" to the URL.
