Currently, this is not supported. However, you can do the following:

instruct your Datacenter1 edge01 and edge02 routers to export flows also to another instance of nprobe listening on a different port.

Then start that nprobe (but this time don't use the %EXPORTER_IPV4_ADDRESS in the template) and use zmq with another endpoint, say tcp://*:5557 <tcp://*:5557>

Finally, start your ntopng with an extra interface that collects data from the latter endpoint with -i tcp://127.0.0.1:5557 <tcp://127.0.0.1:5557>

Simone
