| Timeseries Database |
|---|
| Timeseries Driver The driver used for storing and retrieving timeseries data. Note: It's possible to use InfluxDB v.2 with a compatible v.1 bucket, however the Retention and the Buckets have to be managed by the InfluxDB GUI. Minimum InfluxDB version supported: 1.5.1 |
|
| InfluxDB URL The URL pointing to a running InfluxDB instance. |
|
| InfluxDB Database The database to use for timeseries storage. Existing data will not be migrated. In case an InfluxDB v.2 with a compatible v.1 bucket, put the bucket name. |
|
| InfluxDB Authentication Enable InfluxDB authentication. |
|
| Username The username to authenticate with the InfluxDB database. |
|
| Password The password to authenticate with the InfluxDB database. |
|
| Timeseries Resolution The interval between consecutive timeseries data points for local hosts NOTES:
- Lowering the resolution can create gaps in the existing data. It is advisable to delete the database .
|
|
| Query Timeout Maximum duration in seconds for the InfluxDB queries. Queries exeeding this duration will be aborted. |
|
| InfluxDB Timeseries and Top Talkers Retention Retention (days) for InfluxDB timeseries and top talkers. Default: 30 days. Note: If InfluxDB is currently used, to change the retention policy correctly, ntopng restart is needed. Note: If InfluxDB v.2 with a compatible v.1 bucket is used, the retention policy does not work. |

| Interfaces Timeseries |
|---|
| Traffic Toggle the creation of bytes and packets timeseries. |
|
| Layer-7 Applications Toggle the creation of Layer-7 application timeseries. Creating a timeseries per application requires more disk space and extra I/O and, in general, it is not needed. |
|
| Split Timeseries Directions Toggle between displaying a single total traffic timeseries (RX + TX) and separate timeseries for RX and TX. When the 'Total' option is selected (default), a combined timeseries is generated. Otherwise, separate timeseries are created for each direction (RX and TX). |
|
| Local Hosts Timeseries |
|---|
| Host Timeseries Enable full host timeseries creation (full), limit it to bytes and score (light), or turn it off. |
|
| One-Way Traffic Timeseries Toggle the creation of timeseries for one-way traffic. One-way traffic is often generated by remote hosts performing probing, so it is advisable to keep this disabled. |
|
| Layer-7 Applications Toggle the creation of Layer-7 application timeseries. Creating a timeseries per application requires more disk space and extra I/O and, in general, it is not needed. |
|
| MAC Addresses Timeseries |
|---|
| Traffic Toggle the creation of bytes and packets timeseries. |
|
| Layer-7 Applications Toggle the creation of Layer-7 application timeseries. Creating a timeseries per application requires more disk space and extra I/O and, in general, it is not needed. |
|
| System Timeseries |
|---|
| System Toggle the creation of timeseries for monitoring the system, e.g. Redis timeseries, CPU/Memory timeseries... |
|
| Other Timeseries |
|---|
| VLANs Toggle the creation of bytes and applications timeseries for VLANs. |
|
| Autonomous Systems Toggle the creation of bytes and application timeseries for autonomous systems. |
|
| Countries Toggle the creation of bytes timeseries for countries. |
|
| Internals Toggle the creation of internals timeseries, e.g., hash tables entries, periodic activities duration and number of timeseries points written, scripts duration and number of calls. |
