nProbe is a high-performance NetFlow/IPFIX probe and network sensor from ntop that captures traffic and exports flow data for monitoring and security analysis. This repository hosts its open-source components, add-ons, extensions, and example applications that interact with nProbe.

Use cases

  • export netflow v9/ipfix flows from a network tap
  • turn a linux box into a network flow sensor
  • feed enriched flow data into ntopng or an IDS
  • monitor bandwidth and traffic flows in real time
  • collect flow metadata for threat detection and forensics
  • extend nprobe with custom lua add-ons

When to choose

  • you need a proven, production-grade NetFlow/IPFIX exporter with deep packet inspection enrichment
  • you run the ntop ecosystem (ntopng, PF_RING, nDPI) and want native integration
  • you need high-performance flow processing on commodity Linux hardware

When to avoid

  • you only need simple SNMP interface counters rather than flow-level visibility
  • you want a fully open-source turnkey product - the core nProbe binary is commercial and this repo only contains extensions and examples
  • you need a GUI dashboard out of the box - pair it with ntopng for visualization
