Checkmk is a popular platform for monitoring IT infrastructure. ntopng has been integrated in Checkmk some time ago, enabling users to provide traffic visibility in additional to classic bytes/packets metrics. As ntopng is able to produce traffic alerts that, we have decided to extend ntopng in order to export alert information towards Checkmk event console […]
Advancements in Traffic Processing Using Programmable Hardware Flow Offload
This week we have presented at the IEEE HPSR (IEEE International Conference on High Performance Switching and Routing) our latest work that shows how nProbe can benefit of acceleration provided by modern SmartNICs to achieving multi-100 Gbit traffic processing (both passive and inline) on low-end servers while deep-packet inspecting traffic using nDPI. If you want […]
Extended Multilanguage Support in ntopng: Korean, Spanish and French
This is to announce that ntopng now enables users to use a new languages: Korean, Spanish and French. We have also improved translations of German and Italian. The translation is done using an automatic tool so, we cannot guarantee that the translation is completely correct. Error or typos are accepted as a GitHub issue: please […]
ntop and Endian Enter Partnership for Open Source OT Monitoring
ntop develops monitoring tools for IT and OT networks, whereas Endian is a leading Italian company that develops a Secure Digital Platform for OT networks. Both companies use and develop open source tools that can be a key value in OT networks where most tools are proprietary. This partnership allows both companies to complement each […]

HowTo Use nProbe to Detect and Shape Traffic Using DPI
Not all the nProbe users know that they can use nProbe not just as a passive monitoring tool, but also for shaping and dropping netwok traffic based on DPI. Ryan Claridge has filled the gap by writing a great article that explains that in detail. Enjoy !
Howto Build a (Cheaper) 100 Gbit Continuous Packet Recorder using Commodity Hardware
Those who follow this blog probably read a few posts where we described how to build a 100 Gbit continuous packet recorder using n2disk and PF_RING, providing specs for recommended hardware and sample configurations (if you missed them, read part 1, part 2 and part 3). In those posts we recommended the use of FPGA-based adapters […]
InfluxDB v2 support in ntopng is Now (partially) Available
It’s been 3 years since InfluxDB v.2 was released and until a couple of months ago we didn’t plan to add the support to the InfluxDB v.2 due to many reasons: migration from SQL to Flux query language, v2 performance not better than v1. The in the meantime InfluxData release InfluxDB v3 that is currently […]
Upcoming Events: CheckMK Conference and Interop Tokio
In the next couple of weeks we’ll be active in meeting our user community at two events: As you know ntopng is natively integrated with CheckMK. CheckMK Conference that will take place on June 11-13 in Munich, Germany. The ntop team will organize a one-day workshop about ntopng and cybersecurity. Thanks to our partner for […]
ELLIO and ntop partnership: combining cybersecurity with high-speed network traffic analysis
