Can you show me an example, because I'm not able to do it on nprobe with the -f 
option.

Simone,

I found the problem: If you dont use the = sign on the filter parameter line, 
it doesn't see it.

Doesn't work -> --packet-filter "ip and not proto ipv6 and not ether host 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and not net (224.0.0.0/8<http://224.0.0.0/8> or 
239.0.0.0/8<http://239.0.0.0/8>) and not host 192.168.2.227"

Work -> --packet-filter="ip and not proto ipv6 and not ether host 
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and not net (224.0.0.0/8<http://224.0.0.0/8> or 
239.0.0.0/8<http://239.0.0.0/8>) and not host 192.168.2.227"

That is true, I have made a fix.

The point is that when the filter is not seen, *ntopng doesn't say anything 
from the command line*. Nevertheless, in all your emails, you were sending us 
logs with ntopng showing "Packet capture filter set on ..." so it was not 
possible to figure out the cause of the issue. I don't know which logs you were 
sending but for sure they were not consistent with the claimed behavior. Next 
time please make sure to post logs that are actually representative.


Also, if I've eth0 and tcp://127.0.0.1:5556 as my NIC,

BPF is not supported for collector interfaces. If you want to use it then 
specify it on the nProbe.

it doesn't work, here the output:

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,

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.

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

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,

The filter is correct and properly parsed by ntopng. So what is the issue you 
are experiencing?

This doesn't work for me, I'm using the following parameters to exclude 
10.0.0.39 which is my ntopng server IP:
--packet-filter "ip and not proto ipv6 and not ether host ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and 
not net (224.0.0.0/8<http://224.0.0.0/8> or 239.0.0.0/8<http://239.0.0.0/8>) 
and not host 10.0.0.39"

Brett, the filter is not complete. If you want to exclude 10.0.50.246
set:

--packet-filter="not host 10.0.50.246"

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

Hi there.



Thanks for getting back to me



This is the contents of my ntopng.start file:-



-G=/var/run/ntopng.pid

--daemon=

--local-networks="10.0.50.0/25,10.0.50.128/26,10.0.50.193/30<http://10.0.50.0/25,10.0.50.128/26,10.0.50.193/30>"

--packet-filter 10.0.50.246

-m 
"10.0.50.0/25,10.0.50.128/26,10.0.50.193/30<http://10.0.50.0/25,10.0.50.128/26,10.0.50.193/30>"

--track-local-hosts

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
monitored and appearing on the dashboard etc.



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
