How to set up web-based network traffic monitoring system on Linux
|
|||
|
================================================================================
|
|||
|
When you are tasked with monitoring network traffic on the local network, you can consider many different options to do it, depending on the scale/traffic of the local network, monitoring platforms/interface, types of backend database, etc.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[ntopng][1] is an open-source (GPLv3) network traffic analyzer which provides a web interface for real-time network traffic monitoring. It runs on multiple platforms including Linux and MacOS X. ntopng comes with a simple RMON-like agent with built-in web server capability, and uses [Redis][2]-backed key-value server to store time series statistics. You can install ntopng network traffic analyzer on any designated monitoring server connected to your network, and use a web browser to access real-time traffic reports available on the server.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In this tutorial, I will describe **how to set up a web-based network traffic monitoring system on Linux by using ntopng.**
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Features of ntopng ###
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Flow-level, protocol-level real-time analysis of local network traffic.
|
|||
|
- Domain, AS (Autonomous System), VLAN level statistics.
|
|||
|
- Geolocation of IP addresses.
|
|||
|
- Deep packet inspection (DPI) based service discovery (e.g., Google, Facebook).
|
|||
|
- Historical traffic analysis (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly).
|
|||
|
- Support for sFlow, NetFlow (v5/v9) and IPFIX through nProbe.
|
|||
|
- Network traffic matrix (who’s talking to who?).
|
|||
|
- IPv6 support.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Install ntopng on Linux ###
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The official website offers binary packages for [Ubuntu][3] and [CentOS][4]. So if you use either platform, you can install these packages.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you want to build the latest ntopng from [its source][5], follow the instructions below.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To build ntopng on Debian, Ubuntu or Linux Mint:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev libglib2.0-dev libgeoip-dev redis-server wget
|
|||
|
$ tar xzf ntopng-1.0.tar.gz
|
|||
|
$ cd ntopng-1.0/
|
|||
|
$ ./configure
|
|||
|
$ make geoip
|
|||
|
$ make
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In the above steps, “make geoip” will automatically download a free version of GeoIP databases with wget from maxmind.com. So make sure that your system is connected to the network.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To build ntopng on Fedora:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo yum install libpcap-devel glib2-devel GeoIP-devel
|
|||
|
libxml2-devel redis wget
|
|||
|
$ tar xzf ntopng-1.0.tar.gz
|
|||
|
$ cd ntopng-1.0/
|
|||
|
$ ./configure
|
|||
|
$ make geoip
|
|||
|
$ make
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To install ntopng on CentOS or RHEL, first [set up EPEL repository][6], and then follow the same instructions as in [Fedora][7] above.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Configure ntopng on Linux ###
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
After building ntopng, create a configuration directory for ntopng, and prepare default configuration files as follows. I assume that “192.168.1.0/24″ is the CIDR address prefix of your local network.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo mkir /etc/ntopng -p
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo -e /etc/ntopng/ntopng.start
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
> --local-networks "192.168.1.0/24"
|
|||
|
>
|
|||
|
> --interface 1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo -e /etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
> -G=/var/run/ntopng.pid
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Before running ntopng, make sure to first start redis, which is a key-value store for ntopng.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To start ntopng on Debian, Ubuntu or Linux Mint:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server restart
|
|||
|
$ sudo ./ntopng
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To start ntopng on Fedora, CentOS or RHEL:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo service redis restart
|
|||
|
$ sudo ./ntopng
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
By default, ntopng listens on TCP/3000 port. Verify this is the case using the command below.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
$ sudo netstat -nap|grep ntopng
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
> tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 29566/ntopng
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Monitor Network Traffic in Web-Based Interface ###
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Once ntopng is successfully running, go to http://<ip-address-of-host>:3000 on your web browser to access the web interface of ntopng.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You will see the login screen of ntopng. Use the default username and password: “admin/admin” to log in.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Here are a few screenshots of ntopng in action.
