Is this how I would accomplish that?


Hi Bruce,

My /etc/default/ntopng options file:
root@HomeServer:/var/log/ntopng# cd /etc/default
root@HomeServer:/etc/default# more ntopng
# set ENABLED to 0 if you want to avoid ntopng being started at system boot
ENABLED=1

# Space-separated list of interface ntopng should listen on. If empty ntopng
# will try to auto-detect the best interface.
#INTERFACES="eth0 wlan0"
INTERFACES="eth0"

# Port on which ntopng will listen for the web-UI.
HTTP_PORT=3000

# Additional command-line arguments for ntopng.
# local-networks="10.0.0.0/24 <http://10.0.0.0/24>"

#
ADD_ARGS="-m 10.0.0.0/24 <http://10.0.0.0/24>, -S all, -F db"



Your log shows that the Historical interface is not starting at all. I think the issue could be in the definition of ADD_ARGS; I think there should be no commas between options in the string.
If the issue persists also by removing the commas, please do let us know.

Thank you,
Arianna

    Hi Bruce,

    just to let you know - a newer ntopng version, the 1.2, should also be
    available.

        I installed NTOPNG from the Ubuntu repositories. It' version 1.1. I 
have my
        local network defined and can see my flows. I wanted to see historical
        data. I
        installed SQLite and started NTOPNG with the -F option. Do I have to
        configure
        my SQLite database to receive NTOPNG data? Or configure NTOPNG to use a
        specific
        database?


    No, if you specify the -F option with the "db" parameter ntopng will create
    its own sqlite databases in /var/top/ntopng/datadump.

        My server has two network interfaces. I access my server using it's
        wlan0 port
        and have a SPAN port on my switch configured to mirror data to eth0 on 
my
        server. Since it is connected to a SPAN port, I don't have an IP address
        defined.

        How do I go about viewing historical data? I read the userguide but 
couldn't
        quite figure out how to define my historical interface or view my data.


    Run ntopng with the -F option. Then login to the web interface and open the
    "Interfaces" menu. Click on the "Historical" menu entry. As soon as the
    Historical interface has been loaded and the dashboard has been presented
    again to you, select it again from the "Interfaces" menu. Then click on the
    "Load Data" tab.
    In the page that is now presented to you, you can choose the interface you
    want to load historical data for, and the time interval you want. Click on
    "Load Historical Data" and the load should progress (you should see it in
    the bottom right corner of the screen). As soon as load is complete select
    the "Overview" tab and you should see more tabs appearing (namely "Packets"
    and "Protocols") with the historical data you requested.

        Also -
        would I need to run a second instance of ntopng if I want to pull
        current flows
        while viewing historic flows?


    No, this should be done in the background even if you select the historical
    interface.


    Thank you,
    Arianna


        Here is the scenario: I noticed a large spike in traffic a few days ago.
        I was
        in ntopng at the time. I looked at top talkers and saw it was a PC
        sending 3.5
        gigs of data over to Google. If I were not in ntopng at the time, I
        would not
        have noticed the flow. So I'd like to be able to look at a previous
        day's flows
        and find my top talkers of the day.
