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
