I'm using version 5 of ntop only.  Here's my config:

ntopng -e -I tcp://127.0.0.1:5556

nprobe --zmq "tcp://127.0.0.1:5556" -u 1 -Q 1 -i none -n none
--collector-port 2055 -b 2 --debug --interpret-flow-packets --syslog nprobe
-t 900 -d 900 -l 900 -V 5 --dump-pkts /var/nprobe.pcap --dump-bad-packets
/var/nprobe_bad.pcap

I'm running nprobe version v.7.1.150506 (r46666)

Strangely the dump-pkts and dump-bad-packets files never get anything in
them, even when I send 'good' traffic from the simulator.
