NetFlow data collector with ntopng
-
Hello , any guide how to implement this? Is this even possible with pfsense ntopng package, if yes please tell me!

@Antibiotic No it’s not possible with NtopNG as it is not a Netflow collector. You need nProbe for that which will “translate” recieved netflows into flows that NtopNG understands and can visualize (with very very little detail might I add as Netflows has no additonal information apart from sender/reciever and volume). The NtopNG package and the product in general is more geared towards visualising and recording traffic details from actual packet captures. This contains MUCH more metadata about the sessions than netflows (DNS names, protocol information and myriads of other things).
But pffSense Plus has a builtin Netflow exporter if you have an external netflow collector on hand.
