NetFlow v9 collector for ntopng
ntopng is a free/commercial NetFlow/sFlow analysis console suitible for a variety of use cases. However, if you want to collect NetFlow or sFlow data and load that into ntopng you currently have no choice but to spend 199Euro on nProbe which in my case is more expensive than the Ubiquiti USG that I wanted to collect NetFlow stats from.
Hence, I created netflow2ng.
- Collect NetFlow v9 stats from one or more probes
- Run a ZMQ Publisher for ntopng to collect metrics from
- Prometheus metrics
- NetFlow Templates
netflow2ng utilizes goflow for NetFlow decoding. For more information on what NetFlow fields are supported in netflow2ng, please read the goflow docs.
In theory, adding sFlow/IPFIX/NetFlow v5 support should be pretty trivial, but I haven't bothered at this time.
- Not 199Euro
- Doesn't support any probe features (sniffing traffic directly)
- Can't write stats to MySQL/disk or act as a NetFlow proxy
- Not tested with lots of probes or on 10Gbit networks
- Targeted for Home/SOHO use.
- No commercial support, etc.
- May not support the latest versions/features of ntopng
