nethserver-ntopng

After installation, ntopng is disabled by default.

Ntopng web interface is accessible:

• from specified TCP port (default is 3000 with access only from green interfaces)
• from Server Manager using a proxypass: https://<server>:980/<alias> (see alias prop)

The software is configured to use a minimal redis instance named redis-ntopng.
