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
