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.

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 > > CTSG > > > > _______________________________________________ > Ntop mailing list > [email protected] > http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop >
