Title: Ntopng Community Edition
Post by: pankaj on August 22, 2022, 02:01:38 am
Hi,
The community edition of ntopng allows up to 5 interfaces for monitoring which is plenty for home users like me.
But the plugins for OPNSense plugin for ntopng only allows one interface, just curious if this is by design or an oversight?

Thanks.

same version? the plugin I think was carefully tested and is usually not the latest version

Probably as a minor weight but don't think it is a version issue for following reasons:

1. My POV is only about 4-5 months since I started using ntopng so not a very long time span.
2. The CE of ntopng has allowed 5 interfaces but the OPNSense plugin could never pick more than one since the day I started using the plugin.
3. In the past, I was manually able to edit the file "/usr/local/etc/ntopng.conf" and add more interfaces.
4. Ntopng kept on crashing a lot so had to set up a Monit check to restart it when it goes down, it worked well with all the manually added interfaces when restarted by Monit.
5. For last one week, I noticed that the manually added interfaces are not showing up after restart as the ""/usr/local/etc/ntopng.conf" file gets re-written by some process.

Attached are my latest versions, hope it helps.

Just leave it blank and set them in ntop?

The ntopng UI tab in OPNSense does not allow picking more than one interface  :(
