You can’t use different type of interface in the same --interface line. (tcp:// 
… is an ZMQ interface and eth0 is a network interface)

You have to run another instance of ntopng on the “ntopng server system” and 
then use the following interface line

-- interface tcp://127.0.0.1:3456,tcp://192.168.0.3:3456,tcp://192.168.0.14:3456

And run the ntopng clients as follow

-I="tcp://*:3456"

And ntopng will be able to consolidate all the client exported flows.

No, there isn’t .
