Option to sort within categories and subcategories the ProbeID's

[astalush]

Could you create categories and subcategories for example I have 200 switchs to supervise and they are sorted with the postal code (37XXX,45XXX,80XXX, etc) and under each code there are others code like 37100, 37200 , 45100,45160, etc. Now I have them like this https://whatis.x264.xyz/images/2fb5d4f426e781468da16de6516900f5.png . And 200 lines are a lot that's why it's easier with categories. And I cannot scroll down to see other ProbeID's, like in the photos attached 👍 https://whatis.x264.xyz/images/4de52adb4615e48b98e2248a1ff6b0d6.png versus https://whatis.x264.xyz/images/e5ead94db1fc8d286f81ee964d395738.png . I cannot zoom into browser to see all the 200 switchs. Not possible to scroll.

Any chance with an update? Thanks.

In essence your request is to sort the menu after split into categories? How do you define a category

Why do you keep all traffic split per switch? Do you really need that?

[astalush]

Where I work I need to supervise all switchs. The firm has agencies all around France and we are in charge of supervising the network. In each agency there is a DELL switch with sFlow activated that I want to add into ntopng. There are 150-160 agencies so 150-160 switchs connected to routers and into an MPLS VPN. We are at the datacenter and we supervise all network so if I add all the switchs I cannot see all of them so I would like to sort them out with their region code. Group them by their region code so I can browse them more simple. When we have a problem I need to watch only the switch in question in the agency that has the problem. But with InfluxDB I wanna also have a DB with infos in the past for the agencies.

Would you be willing to sponsor this development?

[astalush]

We would like to buy ntopng and nprobe licenses, I already talked to your colleague who already gave me 7 days licences to test the apps.

[lucaderi]

Sure but this development has some challenges

• currently we support 32 interfaces and not 200 (in other words we have set an artificial limit to avoid ntopng so be inefficient)
• we need to cluster the GUI

Is your need only realtime or do you need historical data? With 200 switches and hundred of ports the workload is a lot. That is why I am asking you what you really need.

[astalush]

The sFlow that I've activated sends to nprobe the flows, so you're telling me that nprobe only works with maximum 32 connections? We need both, realtime and historical. When I say historical it's like 'hey, we had a network problem last week, can you look into it? yes, I will check out the data from last week for your switch." But if the switch wasn't added for last week I cannot look into it. Ressources are not a problem, we have hundreds of VM who can take workloads.

How many nprobe have in your network? We need to cluster data in some way to make a plan

[astalush]

Now we have one NPROBE and one NTOPNG for testing purposes, with 29 switchs sending sFlow datas to this one NPROBE.

OK, can we talk in private? Via email? Discord?

For now, we've added a searchbox in the interfaces menu to ease lookup and find them
