Hi Simone,
Thank you for your time.
Thank you. We would like the best possible data from the capture so we
should at least check the outcome using nProbe.
We are using version 2.4.270616
I had a look through the interface to see if any configuration needed
to be pointed to local network. Can you advise what config you were
referring to please?
If we would like to try nProbe using a Windows PC could you please
provide the install commands to get both services talking on the same
required port etc. Will only mainly be used off mirror ports on a
single subnet with both probe and ntopng on the same host. Rarely will
we be looking at anything more than a single switch and network when
using ntopng.
Thank you again
CTSG

Hi All,
We would like to use ntopng installed on a windows laptop connected to a
mirror port on a network switch to monitor and report on network traffic to
determine issues across the network.
Using ntopng connected to a switch port with mirror configured; is nProbe
required?
it is not strictly necessary in your case. Provided that you don't need
deep packet dissection features (e.g., to dissect DNSm BGP, VoIP, etc),
then ntopng may suffice.
We appear to still get some flows shown in ntopng with nprobe removed but
i'm not positive the flow data is complete. Also I notice the interface
total bandwidth graph at the bottom of the pages is not displaying any data.
- update ntopng to version >= 2.4
- make sure to define local networks in the configuration
Could someone please let us know the basic setup for a >Smart
Switch>?nprobe?>ntopng>Windows laptop.
if you are mirroring a switch port, then nprobe is not strictly necessary
provided that you don't need information extracted by nprobe plugins
http://www.ntop.org/products/netflow/nprobe/
Is nProbe only required when trying to source data from a netflow or sflow
compatible router device?
this is just one case. nprobe is required also for deep traffic dissection
features. It is also useful to decouple monitoring from visualization. For
example, you can deploy multiple nprobes on the vantage points of your
network and collect their results on a remote ntopng.
Knowing the above intended use what would be the best install command for
either service please?
Thank you
