Introducing the New Infrastructure Dashboard in ntopng
For this reason, some time ago we introduced the Infrastructure Monitoring in ntopng, as described in a previous blog post, which is the ability to use ntopng to monitor other ntopng instances, by means of its Active Monitoring capabilities. This infrastructure monitoring feature allows users to gain real-time insights into the status of their ntopng instances, as well as monitor the network interconnecting them. Now, we are excited to introduce a further extension to the Infrastructure Monitoring in ntopng, the new Infrastructure Dashboard. This enhancement enables users to efficiently oversee multiple …

Short 2025 Roadmap: QoE, AI in Traffic Classification, Distributed Architecture, SuperNICs
As usual, we’re sharing some details about our 2025 roadmap. We have discusses several working items and distilled a few we can pursue in the coming months. QoE (Quality of Experience) In the past few years we have focused on Cybersecurity and now we want to extend our measurements into a new dimension: quality. ntop tools monitor various metrics such as RTT, latency, jitter.. and now we want to combine them with DPI to creare a quality score that will report how good (from the user experience standpoint) the traffic …

Introducing ntopng Policy Menu
In the past months we have extended our behaviour analysis introducing new features such as the ACL or device policies. For this reason we have rearranged the menus and create a new Policy menu (you can read more here) that contains all the configurations used by ntopng to trigger alerts. Sue to this, some pages have been moved and changed location. Below you can find the list of the moved pages and how to access them now: Server Ports (Previously, Server Ports Analysis): Previously in the Host entry, moved to …

Introducing Centralized License Manager for Dynamic Environments
We continually strive to make the software configuration and management more flexible and easier for the users. To this end, we are excited to announce the launch of a new way of licensing the software feature: the centralised License Manager (LM). This tool simplifies software license management by dynamically allocating licenses to various application instances running within your network. The LM is another option you can use in addition to “traditional” systemId-based licenses that we use today. What is the centralised License Manager? Managing software licenses across multiple instances within …

Introducing Smart Recording in n2disk: Combining Cybersecurity with Packet-to-Disk
In short Continuous network traffic recorders are applications (or appliances) that write network traffic on disk. In case of issues (e.g. security breach or network outage) they enable network and security analysts to go back in time and see how a problem originated. The main limitation of this practice is that a lot of data it is written to disk even when there is nothing special happening on the network. Similar to the evolution of surveillance cameras that implemented “motion detection” to trigger recording when some meaningful even happen, this …
