I left all comments out to keep it short for here. TYPE="Ethernet"īefore we can run ntopng, we need to edit the config file located at: /etc/ntopng/nf I disabled IPv4 and IPv6 so the cards will function as mirror-ports for ntopng. For example ifcfg-eth1, and create one for ifcfg-eth2 as well. Use nano to create and configure these network interface settings. In my case ifcfg-eth1 is for LAN monitoring and ifcfg-eth2 for WAN monitoring. So in CentOS 8 I created network interface configuration files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ cd network-scripts]# ls So I added a second network interface from virtual switch LAN and virtual switch WAN. In my setup I am using port mirroring from Hyper-V. firewall-cmd -permanent -add-port=3000/tcp
NTOPNG PFSENSE 2.3 INSTALL
So, might as well make use of it… yum install -y pfring-drivers-zc-dkmsīefore we actually start ntopng and activate it as a service, we still need to configure some things.įirst, the firewall needs to be configured to access the webbased GUI of ntopng. In my case I also installed the RING drivers, as the virtual interfaces are 10Gb internally. Yum install -y pfring-dkms n2disk nprobe ntopng cento You can find the info here: Īfter that, start installing ntopng, which might take a little while. Now the repository is set, do some cleanup. Now we have set the basics, we can prepare stuff for installing ntopng. # wget is needed to retrieve the programs from internet
NTOPNG PFSENSE 2.3 UPDATE
I asume you are either logged in as root or are using sudo for each statement, or use sudo -s yum update -y (Yeah, you can fix it somehow, but using fixed memory makes it more stable)Īfter that, let’s do some basic stuff on CentOS. So we started to install CentOS 8 on Hyper-V you will find somewhere on Internet that you can create it as a Generation 2 virtual machine, just give it a fixed 2GB of RAM to get rid of dynamic memory balloon errors. Ah, well, it is more recent than 3.8 from pfsense! CentOS 8, ntopng 4.0, and a lot of other stuff At the moment of this writing, ntopng is at version 4.1, but… Only available for Fedora and OpenSuSe. So what is the lifespan of CentOS 8? Ah! 10 years! Okay, it is a bit tougher OS than Ubuntu and Debian when it comes to out-of-the-box configuration and installing packages, but we might be able to handle that. No! It will work, no doubt, but I’m getting a bit tired of updating these OS-es which have a lifespan of only 2 years. So, I installed an Ubuntu 18.04 Server at first but it seems they are now using Netplan which until the day I wrote this, still doesn’t support network cards to be set in promiscuous mode.
NTOPNG PFSENSE 2.3 WINDOWS
Take in mind that my setup with pfsense, ntopng and all the other servers, are running as virtual machines on a Windows Server with Hyper-V. I’ve got my ntopng server running, connected to my graylog-server with Grafana on top of it and it reconnects even after rebooting the firewall, ntopng-server and the graylog-server. It could not reconnect and I had to drop the Influx database, reset the pfsense-ntopng Timeseries Database configuration to reconnect again, loosing history ofcourse…Īs of today, this problem is gone.
NTOPNG PFSENSE 2.3 OFFLINE
But I had some serious issues when either pfsense or the Grafana server went offline for backup or maintenance. The pfsense-ntopng module can connect to a remote Influx database, which I had running as part of another project to create a Grafana dashboard for pfsense. And I really hate those packages where you have no control over updates, only to wait a long time before it is updated in a new version of pfsense. It was time to take control… ntopng on pfsense is an old version.
