      Many thanks for the reply.
      It's not too complicated, the problem is that where there should be activity map (I've seen it in many screen shots) I do not have it. I found that I have to enable it by adding --enable-flow-activity but I do not know how to do it.

      I try Bandwith thank you

        You don't need to do that. Just go to Diagnostics > ntopng Settings and enable ntopng, add admin password and select interface you want to access it from (LAN by default). Then click save and wait a bit for data to show up.

          I did it several days ago but I do not see the activity map ...
          Do I have any errors in the settings? I left the defaults

          Many thanks

            I would like to see this activity map. Maybe I expressed myself badly.
            Many thanks

              Maybe it has to do with the "new version" that shows as being available in your first screenshot... maybe that's a feature that wasn't part of the version currently available as a pfSense package.

              It looks like the latest version of nmap was updated in FreshPorts towards the beginning of the month... I would imagine that someone from pfSense hasn't had a chance to update the package to the new version yet. Not sure if that's the reason the activity map isn't showing or not, but it's possible.

                To get that map I do believe he does need to do that.

                https://github.com/ntop/ntopng/issues/872
                Activity map must be enabled explicitly by starting ntopng with option --enable-flow-activity:

                That is from 2016..

                  I wait for package update. but now it is not possible to do this update in pfsense.
                  I don't think this is my problem.
                  Best regards

                    Hi,
                    I know that. I wrote the same thing some post before.
                    My problem is that I don't know how modify the start options in pfsense.
                    Some help?

                      you would have to edit file directly.. I don't see anything in the gui for allowing adding options.

                        @johnpoz said in ntop activity map:

                        you would have to edit file directly… I don’t see anything in the gui for allowing adding options.

                        Hi. I'm a windows user and I don't have experience with linux. I'm a developer with good experience in windows. Can you give me please a link with a guide to do that?
                        Many thanks @johnpoz

                          The source of ntopng inc is here
                          https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/blob/master/config/ntopng/ntopng.inc

                          Oh that is OLD... you need to edit the file directly on the system anyway.. And off the top my head not sure where that is for ntop - I normally don't run it.

                            OK. I try it when I have a bit of time.

                              I found ntopng.inc inside /usr/local/pkg and attempted to append --enable-flow-activity to the end of the of line 167 but before the &. Like so...

                              /usr/local/bin/ntopng -d /var/db/ntopng -G /var/run/ntopng.pid -s -e {$http_args} {$disable_alerts} {$dump_
                              flows} {$ifaces} {$dns_mode} {$aggregations} {$local_networks} --enable-flow-activity &
                              

                              Stopped and restarted ntopng and still no luck.
