We go with the brand new ntopng.

Repositories with rpm build:

This new release requires Redis as backend.

We should create a proxypass to ntop http port using a random hash url.

Problems encountered:
  • init script doesn't implement status actions, so we can't use standard action adjust-service; a custom action has been created to start and stop ntopng daemon
  • despite official documentation, proxy pass with Apache doesn't correctly work

After installation, ntopng is disabled by default. The user must access the web UI, choose an admin password and enable the service. Ntopng web interface is then accessible from the port specified in the web UI (default is 3000 with public access).

New package in nethserver-testing:
  • nethserver-ntopng

Test case

  • After package installation, enter the web UI under "Bandwidth monitor" section
  • Enable the service and choose a password for the admin user
  • Check ntopng is running on port 3000 gathering network statistics

During starting process, ntopng will log these lines:

Error Opening file /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/geoip/GeoIPASNum.dat
Error Opening file /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/geoip/GeoIPASNumv6.dat
Error Opening file /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/geoip/GeoLiteCity.dat
Error Opening file /usr/local/share/ntopng/httpdocs/geoip/GeoLiteCityv6.dat

To avoid the errors, just execute /etc/cron.monthly/ntop-update-geodb.
This script will download required databases and restart ntopng daemon.
