Hi there,

We have one simple requirement:

To accurately record how much bandwidth each user is using, across our 
several sites, over a day / week / month / year. Realtime data nice to 
have but not necessary.

I say 'simple requirement' however having tried many ways to achieve 
this over years its been anything but simple. (For us anyhow.)

With ntopng now being able to record historical data we're feeling 
encouraged to try ntop again.

As such we've acquired the needed licenses, instructed our Mikrotik to 
send NetFlow to the Windows PC running nProbe & ntopng, and created the 
needed license file.

However I cannot figure out how to start nprobe service to capture the 
Mikrotik flows and send them to ntopng.

What are the correct Windows cmd's to start nprobe & ntopng, to capture 
NetFlow from Mikrotik please?

Lots of tutorials like the one below for starting on Linux but no so 
much on Windows:

We seem to need the Windows equivalent of the below however:

nprobe -i none -n none -3 2055 --zmq tcp://127.0.0.1:1234
ntopng -i tcp://127.0.0.1:1234

Help greatly appreciated,

Best,

Johan.
