Hi, I am trying to build a distributed network monitoring system using ntopng/nprobe. The aim is to have one collector with a Web interface to monitor data collected from other probes across the campus.
What I am not clear about is whether I should have one ntopng server and multiple nprobes or multiple ntopng servers. I already have ntopng installed on Fedora core 20 server and started with the bellow configuration. The ntopng server is collecting data from a mirrored port on a 3com switch. I guess my question is how do I extend monitoring to other remote switches? is it by installing nprobe on a mirrored port on each switch or by installing ntopng? Ntopng server is started using this command /usr/local/bin/ntopng /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf -------------------------------- # run as user ntop --user ntopng # run as daemon --daemon # Enable historical data -F --dump-flows # for testing use different http port --http-port 3000 # Disable web interface logout for inactivity --disable-autologout # Set the Default Data Directory --data-dir /usr/share/ntopng/data # Set the HTTP Documents Directory -httpdocs-dir /usr/share/ntopng/httpdocs # Set the Scripts Directory --scripts-dir /usr/share/ntopng/scripts # Set the Callbacs Directory --callbacks-dir /usr/share/ntopng/scripts/callbacks # Set the redis Info --redis localhost:6379 # Interfaces to Monitor #--interface lo,p2p1,p3p1 --interface p3p1 # Set PID File --pid /var/tmp/ntopng.pid # Use our Protocol List #--protocols /etc/ntopng/protocol.list # Since the Interfaces used for capturing don't have an IP address we need to set the Local Host Networks #--local-subnets "192.168.0.0/16,10.168.0.0/16" -m "192.168.0.0/16,10.168.0.0/16" # Enable some debugging #--verbose Thank you in advance Ramzi
