NTOP Problem ?
-
The new package 5.0.1 v2.5 did not resolve the "spinning logo on IP detail" problem for me.
-
Ok Installed the new updated version of Ntop (5.0.1 v2.5) hoping that this version would fix the issues I have been having with the previous version (5.0.1_1 v2.4) but to my surprise everything remains the same.
I cannot connect to Ntop, each time i try to connect i get Time Out Error:
The connection has timed out
The server at 192.168.x.x is taking too long to respond.
I have never had any problem with Ntop before and i've been using it for 2yrs + but ever since I installed version 5.0.1_1 v2.4 it has become UNUSEABLE!
I have since UnInstalled Ntop, i still love this program and i will continue check for new versions until its fixed.
I'm running Pfsense 2.1.3 X64.
UPDATE: Someone posted a suggestion on a thread that I had started here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=76358.0Ntop seems to be working fine for me again.
I've noticed with NTOP; when you reinstall/install, you have to select interfaces and enter the password again. Some reason the settings are not retained. -
I am having the same issue. The ntop "info about" page only has a spinning flower and eventually 404's.
If I right click the host and save the link I can open it and view some info.This seems like there may be some permission issue of the pfsense machine. It would be cool to see this fixed or ntopng made a package. I would be willing to add $25-50 to a bounty if anyone wanted to go in with me.

I too am still having some major problems with ntop and latest pfsense…
ntop[51381]: EPIPE while sending page to web client
ntop[15131]: ERROR Buffer too short @ report.c:3905 (increase to at least 1070) [a23-...amaitechnologies.com
23.197.146.70<no clue how to fix this, tried to find something in the docs and google... no luck at all.

well.. not sure this is a fix or not, but i currently (for the time) have this dril-down working.
I switched from using HTTP to HTTPS via ntop > admin > configure > startup options > [basic prefs] and changed -w (HTTP) to 0 (zero) and HTTPS server to a port of my choosing. restarted ntop and now I am able to drill-down:
IP > traffic directions > local to remote and select a host IP to get detailed info.
I don't understand why, but seems the built-in webservices is having some kind of buffer issue for HTTP services since latest updates.. perhaps related/unrelated to the OpenSSL sercurity changes.. no idea.

Ahh you had me hopeful :) I tried this on my system and I still have the same issue as before (spinning flower with no info).
I am glad you were able to get a fix for your issue.

ya, i'm not sure this was a silver bullet… there are a couple other changes I've made that could have also contributed.
I enabled use W3C (yes) under display prefs, and also noticed that after adding a few lists in pfblocker, that my memore utilization was around 75%, so I reduced squid memory cache size to 3MB. Those probably have absolutely no coincidental relation, but who knows.

Interesting… Same issue here, but I found that looking at level 2 hosts (by MAC) actually works.
It still sends back some 404s after showing page, which tells me something is broken with ntop web UI...
And the issue is probably with this /python/sankey.py:
The server cannot find the requested page (page expired or ntop configuration ?).
Received request:
<tt>"GET /python/sankey.py?maxhost=16&zoom=0&hostselected%5B%5D=192.168.1.1 HTTP/1.1"</tt>
Python support disabled into this ntop instance
-
After looking at this a bit deeper:
Unfortunately, it seems that many reports in ntop (including level 3 host view) now require python integration, but the installed version was compiled without it.
In About -> Show Configuration it says:Embedded Python -> Not presentPython 2.7 is included with the ntop package - so I might be wrong and ntop just can't find it?
I also can't find the full log file for ntop to see if it ever complained about python… -
it seems there are a lot of issues with the directory paths also. I am getting a lot of file not found errors when I open the page in developer tools. I think there are a few broken parts to this. I wish I new how to fix it but :'(

I'm on 2.2-ALPHA August 9 and have same issue just keeps loading logo. Hope it will be fixed in 2.2 final very useful tool to drill down.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this! I thought ntop is dead.
For some reason its not showing up in packages.
I'll ask in main thread.
