Everything seems OK.

You only have to keep in mind that when working with softflowd:
- flows are delayed and the traffic will look bursty as it is reported periodically
- you can't perform deep packet inspection as neither nProbe nor ntopng have access to the physical packets. This means that traffic detection will be less accurate.
