## ntopng Datasource The official ntopng Grafana datasource plugin lets you quickly navigate ntopng data from inside the beautiful Grafana dashboards. ### Setting Up the Datasource To set up the datasource visit Grafana Datasources page and select the green button `Add a datasource`. Select `ntopng` as the datasource `Type` in the page that opens. The HTTP url must point to a running ntopng instance, to the endpoint `/lua/modules/grafana`. The `Access` method must be set to `Direct`. An example of a full HTTP url that assumes there is an ntopng instance running on `localhost` port `3001` is the following: `http://localhost:3001/lua/modules/grafana` Tick `Basic Auth` if your ntopng instance has authentication enabled and specify a username-password pair in fields `User` and `Password`. The pair must identify an ntopng user. Leave the `Basic Auth` checkbock unticked if ntopng has no authentication (`--disable-login`). Finally, hit the button `Save and Test` to verify the datasource is working properly. A green message `Success: Data souce is working` appears to confirm the datasource is properly set up. ### Supported metrics Once the datasource is set up, ntopng metrics can be charted in any Grafana dashboard. Supported metrics are: - Interface metrics - Host metrics Metrics that identify an interface are prefixed with a `interface_` that precedes the actual interface name. Similarly, metrics that identify an host are prefixed with a `host_` followed by the actual host ip address. Interface and host metrics have a suffix that contain the type of metric (i.e., `traffic` for traffic rates and traffic totals or `allprotocols` for layer-7 application protocol rates). The type of metric is followed by the unit of measure (i.e., `bps` for bits per second, `pps` for packets per second, and `bytes`). #### Interface Metrics Supported interface metrics are: - Traffic rates, in bits and packets per second - Traffic totals, both in Bytes and packets - Application protocol rates, in bits per second #### Host Metrics Supported host metrics are: - Traffic rate in bits per second - Traffic total in Bytes - Application protocol rates in bits per second.
