I've also discovered I can separate out the netflow data coming from each office's router using dynamic network interfaces. I followed the instructions provided at https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/issues/1444 to enable Probe IP disaggregation criterion, and to add %EXPORTER_IPV4_ADDRESS to the template. I assume this does the same thing as host pooling, assuming one wants to pool every subnet on each router?

Eg 85Mbps when we only have a 14Mbps link. Peaks you are seeing are very likely due to the quantized nature of flows. Your netflow exporters do periodic exports of active flows -- say every 2 minutes -- so the ntopng/nProbe pair is not able to know what happened during the 2 minutes, it just receives the exported flow at the end of the period. This translates into a potentially high volume of traffic in a very short period that determines the peak. However, total values over time must be consistent. > If I click on Hosts/Networks, and select one of the local subnets, it seems ok. Is there something wrong with that combined chart? Interfaces charts are populated with a data point every second. Hosts/networks every 5 minutes and thus peaks get smoothed because total data is averaged over a much wider time range. > > Is it possible to name the dynamic network interfaces so I don't have to keep a list of all the routers' ip addresses? Yes, rename it as if it was a normal interface.
