Description
The web-based ntop software provides detailed network usage and monitoring reports for your ClearOS system. Ntop does require some horsepower to monitor your network, so be cautious when installing it on lightweight systems.
Installation
To install ntop on your ClearOS system, run:
yum --enablerepo=base-extras install ntop
Next, you need to set a password for the ntop web-based administration interface:
ntop -A
To start ntop, run:
service ntop start
To start ntop on every boot, run:
chkconfig ntop on
Use
You can access ntop via your favorite web browser. The web-based administration interface runs on port 3000, so the web address will look something like http://192.168.1.1:3000
By default, the ntop reports are accessible by anyone on your local network. If you would like to limit access to only the administrator,
- Go to Admin > Configure > Protect URLs in the menu.
- Enter your login information: admin is your username and the password is what was set during installation.
- Click on Add URL near the bottom of the web page
- Leave the URL field blank (which means all) and click on the Add URL button.
