- Ntop is a network monitoring utility. You can monitor local devices as well as devices with Netflow output (like a Cisco router). It's very easy to install too, open a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install ntop
- Now that it is installed, you have to do some basic setup. Once again, in the terminal, type:
sudo ntop
- You will be asked for a password, and then to confirm the password. This will be the admin password for the ntop web interface. Next, we want to install "Dot", which is a part of the "Graphviz" package:
sudo apt-get install graphviz
- Now, again in the terminal type:
sudo /etc/init.d/ntop start
- Thats it! ntop is running! Try browsing to http://127.0.0.1:3000 to get started. You will have to add the path to dot to the ntop configuration.
Admin -> Configure (Enter admin user/pass) -> Preferences
- At the bottom add a new preference:
dot.path /usr/bin/dot
- You should now have a network map for the local interface under IP -> Local -> Network Traffic Map
