@SteveITS Brilliant - uninstall/reinstall fixed it; thanks!

@trusmith said in Ntopng service will not start because Redis service is not running:

Posting this here for anyone who's about to give up on life trying to sort this. Now I'm not saying that this is the ACTUAL solution, but this is what worked for me and surprisingly no post/thread seems to be talking about it clearly.

For most people, if none of the above mentioned solutions worked for you all you need to do is the following in the exact same order:

Uninstall ntopng from the WebGUI Package Manager successfully. Reboot Delete the ntopng folder in /var/db/ Delete the redis conf file in /usr/local/etc/redis.conf (it will be recreated again with the defaults once you reinstall the pkg) Reboot From the WebGUI, install ntopng and then go to settings and enable it. It will probably fail at this point but don't worry as most people give up at this stage. Reboot Once the system comes up, ntop should be running.

Hardly a groundbreaking solution but missing step # 7 was the culprit for me. Hope this helps others like myself.

Now I'm not sure which hook, argument, port, sock or permission is the reason behind this issue, but let's agree that there definitley is a bug which needs squashing.

Thanks & Regards,
John

Excellent solution, worked for me!

@SteveITS I have checked these settings, i'll monitor and see how it look. Thanks for the advice.

Using the Plus will make it much easier.

@buggz said in pfSense Zeek - walkthrough setup?:

Shrug, looks like it works with default values.
I did choose,
Zeek Interface(s): WAN
Local Network Configuration: my internal network, 192.168.2.0/16

Hi,

I have noticed it breaks when you try to add a script.
It has not started since, I have removed and deleted the script but still it won't start.

@adriftatlas yep I see the same.
Unfortunately one of the redmines linked has no activity since 2019.
Out of luck here my friend

@juanzelli OMG. I'm so DUMB. Thank you very much. I completely forgot that step. You're a scholar and a gentleman. THANK YOU!
