Single documentation for complete fastnetmon setup? #813

Closed operations999 closed 4 years ago

operations999 commented 4 years ago

Hello, Is there single documentation available for complete fastnetmon setup with bgp flow , influxdb and grafana? I tried but some are outdated and some using docker , different OS. Thanks

pavel-odintsov commented 4 years ago

Hello!

I'm sorry but I do not think that we have any documentation of it. FastNetMon community is like lego. You may find and plug almost any stuff into it. For BGP you may consider it https://fastnetmon.com/docs/gobgp-integration/ and for InfluxDB you may just try https://fastnetmon.com/docs/influxdb_integration/

Would be nice if someone can make a script to install fastnetmon, influx, grafana. :)

operations999 commented 4 years ago

I was evaluating and found fastnetmon is just impossible if compare with prtg or ntop free/community edition. Gave up and moved on to Ntop.org community looks much mature. Hopeful in future if its more mature and well documentation will try again.

Hello!

I'm really sorry about your experience. FastNetMon is not replacement / competitor for ntop and ntop is not replacement for FastNetMon. We're focused on DDoS detection and that's single task we're trying to solve.

We have many community contributed guides and you can select one which your like more https://fastnetmon.com/video/ https://fastnetmon.com/presentation/ https://fastnetmon.com/publications/

Hello, I checked videos , documentation and tutorials on google but its really complicated. Maybe you should consider making it user friendly so it can be adopted andr integrated to existing ecosystem of the companies. If there is maintained documentation then it will make life easier. I tried one week testing on different product to see which we can adopt. It took less than 1 hour for me to configure say sflow-rt, ntopng, prtg , librenms for network monitoring and they all works just fine. With fastnetmon it is complicated. Will come back here again in few months to see :)

Would you mind checking our little bit updated configuration guide, please https://fastnetmon.com/install/? We're working hard to add binary packages for all top distros and we will have them for testing soon too.

Hello, fantastic job.. effortless setup :) name-separator = "." but in my influx its

This string joins multiple matching 'measurement' values providing more control over the final measurement name.

separator = "."

Do you know how much memory it takes on VM? I added couple of /16 and fastnetmon failed to start because of memory and VM has 6g mem. Any idea how much mem fastnetmon need for say switch ports?

Thanks

Thank you!

You can check this document about memory use: https://fastnetmon.com/docs/memory_consumption/ Single core of Intel Xeon can handle about ~1m of hosts.

I've fixed InfluxDB guide according to your feedback! Thank you!

In grafana I am missing one part and when I checked graphite database I do not see network when I run measurements. I only see hosts. Any pointer?

pavel-odintsov commented 4 years ago

You need to enable per network counters in configuration: enable_subnet_counters = on

operations999 commented 4 years ago

Perfect! works fine.
