Real-Time bandwith usage
-
i cant find tool to see real-time bandwith usage, i have multiple vlans and i want to see which ip or mac in any vlan has a high bandwith usage. i have tried ntopng but flow doesnt updating after some time and i cant fix it. Also i tried darkstat there is a real time graph but there isn't info about which host uses high that bandwith. There is a trafic graph pfsense built-in tool it is good but i should see hosts of all vlans separately that is uncomfortable. Before pfsense i used Kerio there was real time monitoring of all hosts is any similar tool aviable in pfsense?

Yeah, that is a bit of a soft spot with pfSense. The realtime monitoring and insight tools are pretty bad when you want a bit of detail.
NTOPNG is the tools you want/need, but unfortunately that package has been more or less buggy for years.
Currently it works when just started, but runs into a lot scripting problems after while (usually within hours or a couple of days), and then it looses most of it’s details.You can choose to hack your pfSense to allow an install of the current official NTOPNG release. That works a lot better, but it comes with other problems (cannot be upgraded, and does have UI features that should be removed since its not running in service mode on pfSense). Here’s my guide to the “hack”:

I've tried to use your guide on my 2.6.0-RELEASE (amd64) system.
Unfortunately it is not working. When I try start/restart the ntopng service it's crashing again.I can see the following in the logs:
So there is a problem with redis?

@saggittarius seem you do yes. Perhaps some leftover data from your original install is causing redis to crash.
Stop your Ntopng service even though it is crashed.
Delete the following directory: /var/db/ntopng
See if it will start now.
