Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I am not clear on how the pcap file would be created. I am not doing any kind of capture on the server where I am running ntopng or nprobe.

I assumed that nprobe would accept the incoming netflow data from the routers and then feed it to ntopng. Is that not correct? Do I need some other software running to accept the netflow data from the routers and put it in a pcap file?

Thanks

Jon

Jon,
the correct syntax is describe here https://svn.ntop.org/svn/ntop/trunk/ntopng/README.ntopng

- collector
   ntopng -itcp://127.0.0.1:5556

- probe (nProbe)
nprobe --zmq "tcp://*:5556" -i ~/pcap/http.pcap -n none -b 2

Hi! I've successfully installed Ntopng on a Centos 6.5 x86_64 server and the new web interface is very nice. It looks very impressive so far. I am hoping to use the software to display and analyze netflow data exported/sent by Cisco Catalyst 6500 series layer 3 switches. Currently we have flows sent from those switches going into jkflow/flowscan on other linux servers and it works nicely but there is no interface beyond the manual RRDtool graphs we build from the data to show basic in and out byte counts.

I understand that nprobe must be used as the netflow collector running on the server with ntopng and I have tried to find good documentation on what settings to use to do so. The best I have been able to do is see a number of packets and connections from the switches in question in the hosts display and flows. It shows it has received roughly 1.5GB of data from each of the 2 routers I have sending to it but the data itself doesn't seem to be processed by nprobe or ntopng.

The command I have used to start nprobe currently is:

nprobe --zmq "tcp://127.0.0.1:5556" -i none -n none -V 5 --collector-port 2055

But I have tried a few other suggestions on other websites. What command should I use if I just want the server to accept inbound netflow flows from the routers I point at it and then put the flow data into ntopng?

Thanks

Jon
