Re: How to Analyse MikroTik Traffic Using nprobe -> ntopng on Windows

Update to prev mail:

Starting ntopng with:

ntopng /c -i tcp://*:5556c

and nprobe with:

nprobe /c --zmq "tcp://127.0.0.1:5556" --zmq-probe-mode -i none -n none 
--collector-port 2055 -T "@NTOPNG@"

Results in traffic being parsed to GUI running on:

http://127.0.0.1:3000/lua/hosts_stats.lua

However when selecting Hosts, Filter Hosts, Local Hosts, it outputs: No 
results found, yet we can see some of our local IPs listed under Hosts 
(main menu).

Our primary requirement right now is analyzing / recording LAN users 
internet bandwidth usage.
