This guide will take you through how to install ntopng on Rocky Linux 8. ntopng<\/a> is a high performance web-based network traffic monitoring application. It provides a intuitive, encrypted web user interface for the exploration of realtime and historical traffic information.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installing ntopng on Rocky Linux 8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There exists various versions of ntopng. From community versions to Enterprise versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will learn how to install community version of ntopng on Rocky Linux 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install the ntop Packages Repository on Rocky Linux 8<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ntopng is not available on default Rocky Linux 8 repositories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, you need to install the ntop Packages Repository. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

wget https:\/\/packages.ntop.org\/centos-stable\/ntop.repo -O \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/ntop.repo<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Install and enable other repositories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
dnf install epel-release<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
dnf install http:\/\/rpms.remirepo.net\/enterprise\/remi-release-8.rpm<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Install ntopng<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Next, execute the commands below to install ntopng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dnf erase zeromq3<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
dnf install pfring-dkms n2disk nprobe ntopng cento pfring-drivers-zc-dkms<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Run ntopng community Version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In order to run the community version of ntopng, edit the configuration file, \/etc\/ntopng\/ntopng.conf<\/code><\/strong>, by running the command below;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sed -i 's#-G=\/var\/run\/ntopng.pid#-G=\/var\/run\/ntopng.pid \\\\n--community#'  \/etc\/ntopng\/ntopng.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
That is the only configuration we can make in this demo. The file is highly commented and you can read through it for more configuration options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Running ntopng Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Start and enable ntopng to run on system boot;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl enable --now ntopng<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Check the status;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl status ntopng<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Access ntopng Web Interface<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
By default, ntopng listens on port 3000\/tcp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ss -altnp | grep 3000<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
LISTEN 0      128          0.0.0.0:3000      0.0.0.0:*    users:((\"ntopng\",pid=5512,fd=45))<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Hence, open this port on firewalld:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=3000\/tcp<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
firewall-cmd --reload<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Next, navigate to http:\/\/server-IP:3000<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Login using the default credentials: admin:admin<\/strong> and reset the password afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
