Any word on getting NTOP working?
-
My whole reason for using PFSense is to get a report of internet use. I am using it as a transparent proxy and apparently ntop is the package I should use. It has been broken for quite some time according to the bug report.
-
Any updates would be on the ticket.
-
There are none. I am trying to get some awareness so that someone might actually work on it.
-
…and any updates would be on the ticket. No updates means nobody has been working on it.
-
I know that is what it means. But If get others asking…there might be some movement. It is really the only thing I need and was the whole reason I installed pfSense.

Cino - A ticket already exists.
Donoreo - Asking won't speed it along.
NTOP is a mess even when it does work, it's not something I'd really want on a router these days. If you just need per-IP stats, run bandwidthd.

Seruiously? Well, I guess I will be looking for something else. Bandwidthd does not give me what I need: I want a report of what machines on our network are going where and doing what (HTTP, FTP, etc).
Is there anything in pfSense that will give me what I want?

Exporting netflow (pfflowd, softflowd, etc) to a dedicated collector will do that. You could even run NTOP on another box as a collector if you want and have pfflowd push data to it there.

I have never heard of that before, what do I need as a "collector"?
-
NTOP can be a collector when run on its own system.

Any tricks? I have tried several collectors and none of them report anything being sent. However netstat on the collector machine shows a connection on the correct port.
