Thank you, I will give that a try.

Any thoughts on the other emails I sent yesterday? Maybe this isn't the best 
place to use up the 5 days of included installation support that comes with 
activating the licenses?



Thanks,
Gerard

Subject: Re: [Ntop] Filter time series charts


Hi Gerard,

Right now, this is how you can implement the view you request:

 - If the networks are not spread across multiple collectors and are some 
defined set, you can define local networks globally to get charts by local 
networks: 
https://www.ntop.org/guides/ntopng/basic_concepts/hosts.html#local-hosts .

 - You can also group hosts by local network, ip address or mac address on a 
collector interface basis by the means of "Host Pools". Please check out 
https://www.ntop.org/guides/ntopng/web_gui/hosts.html#host-pools . You will 
need to enable Host Pools timeseries generation in order to see the charts.

Please note that currently in ntopng the charts/report information is not 
generated "on demand" but rather it is precomputed periodically during the 
monitoring. This means that you can't currently apply a dynamic filter like 
subnet filter on the charts page. However, we have implemented a new flow 
database storage which would allow us to be more dynamic on such kind of 
queries, although we still have to evaluate the possible drawbacks of such a 
dynamic approach.

Regards,

Emanuele

Hi,

When I get the data issues ironed out (see previous thread), I am also having a 
hard time how to actually create the kinds of reports we need.

The Netflow traffic received by nprobe is aggregate traffic consisting of 
traffic from all our remote locations, showing each individual device inside 
those LANs.

The type of graph shown when going to  Interfaces -> Netflow collector 
interface -> historical chart page is exactly what I need to see, but it needs 
to be filtered by subnet so I can see traffic belonging to just that group of 
hosts.

I can’t use the Hosts -> Hosts overview because this shows me the individual 
computers at the remote locations. We don’t use NAT so there isn’t a single 
host entry that corresponds to their router’s WAN interface. Also, hosts don’t 
seem to have a historical timeseries type chart like Interfaces does. The pie 
chart on a host’s Protocols page isn’t useful – we need the graphs according to 
time of day. The Protocols page does have a link at the very bottom to a 
historical reports page (host.details.lua?host=IP&page=historical) but those 
pages are blank. Maybe this needs to be enabled somewhere but I haven’t found 
the setting yet.

I tried using the “Traffic Report” as well but all it lets me specify is 
interfaces and protocols as filters. What I miss is the ability to add subnets 
to drill down to specific locations only.

Is any of this possible with ntopng or am I trying to make it do something that 
it’s not designed to do?
