What is ntopng¶
ntopng is a web-based traffic monitoring application able to:
- Passive monitor traffic by passively capturing network traffic
- Collect network flows (NetFlow, sFlow and IPFIX)
- Actively monitor selected network devices
- Monitor a network infrastructure via SNMP
The main difference between ntopng and a traffic collector, is that ntopng not only reports traffic statistics but it also analizes the traffic, draws conclusions on observed traffic type and reports cybersecurity metrics.
Releases and Features¶
ntopng development lifecycle is typically 6 to 9 months. The history of changes and features implemented by every release, is available on its Changelog.
