hw dimensioning for nprobe and ntopng
Hi all,

I'll buy some new hardware for virtualization and I plan to run nprobe
on it, among other things. The plan is to use nprobe to send NF records
to an ntopng instance and also to an elasticsearch.

Does anyone have any core/Ghz recommendation for 4Gbps of traffic (with
pfringZC)?

Do you have a recommendation for the ntopng instance?


Thank you,

Spiros

for 4 Gbit of traffic any modern server will work. You can use E3 processors up for nProbe, but if you add ELK you’re on an unchartered land as when indexes becomes large expect slow-downs and thus you probably need to spawn more ELK instances
