Simone,

Did you run ntopng with the filter directly from the command line or via the 
configuration file? I think the problem happens when the filter is in the 
configuration file and you run ntopng to read it in this file.

Gerhard,

Gerhard,

I've just tried to reproduce on centos6. The filter is working properly. I also 
tried to exclude the ntopng host and it works. So the only additional 
suggestion I have is to try and update ntopng to the latest stable.

Regards

Because, I've changed 10.0.0.39 for 192.168.2.227 for the test.

Here the one in prod with 10.0.0.39<http://10.0.0.39/>:

OK, so the filter is properly parsed. I went back through this thread and found 
that you complained that

The point here is that the filter doesn't contain any clause that matches host

Gerhard,

From the logs I can't see anything that confirms ntopng has read/parsed the bpf 
filter specified. It looks like the filter is ignored. I am not sure those logs 
contain the full output, though.

Can you please run ntopng in foreground and paste the output? Simply call 
/usr/local/bin/ntopng /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf

The issue is that even if 10.0.0.39 is filtered to be excluded, it appears in

about what it is?

If you look at the ntopng output you will see if the filter is parsed

Hi,



--packet-filter is the proper way to do that. Can you please report
the
exact filter you specified? Also check (and paste) ntopng output.
ntopng
prints a confirmation message if it has successfully parsed the
filter.



Regards

Simone

Hi.



Is there any way to exclude a subnet or a range of hosts from being

Our servers are in a specific IP range and I am not interested in
receiving their usage data.



I tried –B and –packet-filter and “not” but they don’t seem to work.



Thanks
