NTOPNG Core Dump

Overlord · Mar 25, 2022, 12:58 PM

I have the same issue:

Ntop service is stopping for no reason and Watchdog (as configured) restart the service

Starting ntopng service errors out with.

Assertion failed: (prefix->bitlen <= patricia->maxbits), function ndpi_patricia_lookup, file third_party/src/ndpi_patricia.c, line 646.

i have same pb as you, maybe new version ntopng ? mine v. 5.3.220420

pid 49316 (ntopng), jid 0, uid 2006: exited on signal 10

@tuanvcuu

I have this version installed:

ntopng /Embedded v.5.0.220113 (FreeBSD 12.3)

Has anyone pinpointed what the cause is? I'm having similar problems. nothing useful in the logs. Just seems to run fine for an arbitrary amount of time then coredump. I'm starting to suspect if its a ram issue.

5.0.220113 [Community/Embedded build]

watching the logs with trace enabled I can't seem to see anything useful being logged right before a reported coredump..

@bstriker Nope, I've since removed it. I have yet to see a fix for it.

PigMan9080 · Nov 24, 2022, 5:50 PM

@visseroth I have this same problem for a while now yet there seems to be no fix

@pigman9080 said in NTOPNG Core Dump:

@visseroth I have this same problem for a while now yet there seems to be no fix

It is painful if more and more people are getting this issue. I'm affected, too.

@motivio Truthfully I have no idea what's going on. I uninstalled it for a time and then reinstalled it to see if it works and it does seem to be working.
Maybe go to NTopNG settings and uncheck "Keep ntopng settings, graphs and traffic data.", save, remove the package, reboot then try to re-install it because I have no idea why mine started to work again.

PigMan9080 · Jan 17, 2023, 9:03 PM

@pigman9080

I have fixed the issue for myself by not using the package manager in pfsense, but rather installing directly on the pfsense shell. You can follow this documentation:

https://www.ntop.org/guides/ntopng/third_party_integrations/pfsense.html

My ntopng has been up for 76 days now

Visseroth · Jan 17, 2023, 9:06 PM

@pigman9080 ahh, so it's a GUI bug, good to know

Visseroth · Jan 20, 2023, 9:43 PM

Here's some irony, it was working, now I'm getting a core dump again, joy!
Tried the how to, yea, I'll skip that.
