This is much better after the update. It starts on boot up with a basic start up script too. With the previous release it was causing the startup script to hang and for some reason prometheusd would take 100% cpu. 0_o

Now I can see about getting money for licenses for it.

Thanks

We fixed this bug last week. What version of nProbe are you using?

OK Great! That has made a big difference. I am now getting flows into ntopng this way.

One strange thing I have encountered. If I start nprobe and give it the daemonize option, it no longer works.
This command on the command line works:

/usr/local/bin/nprobe --zmq tcp://*:5556 -i none -n none -b 2 -3 2055

This doesn't:

/usr/local/bin/nprobe --zmq tcp://*:5556 -i none -n none -b 2 -3 2055 -G

When I give the -G flag, it says it is becoming a daemon. Then I start ntopng with this command:

/usr/local/bin/ntopng -i tcp://127.0.0.1:5556 -e

Ntopng starts and the web interface loads but it always says 'no packet has been received yet'. Does the -G imply some other change in the functionality besides just running as a daemon?

Thanks

If I change the nprobe syntax to:

nprobe --zmq "tcp://*:5556" -i eth0 -n none -b 2'

This command is good for turning packets into flows. If you want to collect flows (let's say on port 2055) and forward them to ntopng do

nprobe --zmq "tcp://*:5556" -i none -n none -b 2 -3 2055

Cheers Luca


I start receiving a lot of command line output about New Flow and Emmiting Flow but still don't see the actual netflow data from the routers being processed. I can see it coming into the nprobe software though.

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
