As far as just a basic traffic monitor for interfaces on pfSense? This is probably the best. Others do a lot more, like tracking individual hosts/devices, what they're connecting to, etc. and might not track the interface as a whole. To be honest, as long as you know the time difference, it's still doing what it should be doing. Plus, while my hourly graph seems to be horribly screwed up (it's showing that the current hour is 10/22/2020 11:00 AM), the daily and monthly graphs seem to be fine. And it's that monthly graph that you'd be most concerned about when checking against a data cap.

@damien_vancouver's fix also worked for me.

@mike3y Hey..Why u crashing the party.hahahaha... i fixed the issue by running a shell cmd i found in one of the old threads concerning redis

I run into performance issues with ntop after a couple months. pFsense runs terrible and I have to purge the package to get things running smooth again. Is it possible the sg-1100 isn't designed to really run ntopng?

Perhaps Windows or other programs are being updated. I notice a significant increase in traffic when I make a backup of my site. Therefore, it is logical that you are downloading some kind of updates.

@VictorRobellini Just... wow.

Im also keen to know? Wanting to install NTOPNG with carp running but dont want to break things

Only installed Ntopng, don't have any other packages besides the ones already pre-installed on Pfsense. 35 GB. 4GB RAM and 4 CPU cores.

@Armstrong Good news, learning is for a lifetime

@mariyan Thank you very much for the response. Yes, this makes sense to me. Using the Gryphon router is going to be a hindrance as they allow limited configuration of their equipment. It doesn’t allow turning off dhcp server or bridging to another router as an access point only. The only option I have is to discontinue use of the Gryphon router, which I now have done. Their limitations will limit me on my quest for pfSense to handle “all” things routing wise. I switched to an Aruba Networks IAP-205 Access Point and your provided solution has worked well. Thanks again

I've been seeing the same issue since updating to 2.4.5_p1. What I did to "make it stop" was to add the Service Watchdog Package and have it watch the ntopng Service and restart it when it goes down.
