ntopng

ntopng is computer software for monitoring traffic on a computer network. It is designed to be a high-performance, low-resource replacement for ntop. The name is derived from ntop next generation. ntopng is open-source software released under the GNU General Public License (GPLv3) for software. Source code versions are available for the operating systems: Unix, Linux, BSD, Mac OS X, and Windows. Binary versions are available for CentOS, Ubuntu, and OS X.

ntopng relies on the Redis key-value server rather than a traditional database, takes advantage of nDPI for protocol detection, supports geolocation of hosts, and is able to display real-time flow analysis for connected hosts.

Sample use

 
ntopng --dns-mode 1 --interface 5 --daemon --redis localhost:6379 --verbose

Explanation: run ntopng executable, set DNS mode to decode DNS responses and resolve all numeric IPs, use fifth network interface, operate in daemon mode, use Redis server running on local host, and operate in verbose mode.

gollark: Like potion refining.
gollark: The passive power is a bit oversimplified, I think, but there are cool mechanics.
gollark: Have you tried TE on 1.12? It allows you to make actual choices about machines instead of just having really easy tiering.
gollark: I think the most I've ever seen was a 3x setup, and that was compacted into a bunch of rows of machines.
gollark: Mekanism does 5x, and people never bother with *that*.
