pfSense » pfSense Packages

It is also not showing the locations (other than home location) and flows om the maps page

in the topic mentioned above there has been found a possible cause for this:

"Using pfSense 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2 with Ntopng Community Edition v.3.6.181116 I manually ran the /usr/local/bin/geoipupdate.sh script and got : fetch: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz: Not Found Then I went to Maxmind website and found this article: https://dev.maxmind.com/release-note/discontinuation-notice-for-geolite-legacy-databases/ It looks for me that Maxmind has ended their support and download for the legacy GeoIP data. The only GeoIP data you can download are the GeoLite2 data."

• Adds the new libmaxminddb geolocation library

Any ETA on this please?

PLEASE update the ntopng package -- surely this can't be that big of a deal!

I have just installed Ntop only to find only parts of it are working - would it be possible to update this please ?

It seems clear no one at Netgate is reading this ticket. :-(

Looks like it :(. Anybody knows how to do a quick workaround and install 3.8 manually? or can I download the old version of the geoip databases?

I did try to replace the GeoIP database but that didn't work.

I got this working on my SG-3100 by copying files from:

https://centminmod.com/centminmodparts/geoip-legacy/

to a web server that I have control of, then I edited the urls in:
/usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc
/usr/local/bin/geoipupdate.sh

Re-ran scripts manually from ssh to ensure there are no errors and clicked the delete followed by refresh geo button in the GUI ntopng settings,
restarted the service and now I am able to login and use ntopng using pfsense 2.4.4 p2 with ntopng 0.8.13_3

• No flags are shown
• listing by country doesn't work
• and there are no traces on the Geo Map.

wonder if I have broken some stuffs when I tried to install 3.8 manually. :/

Found out recently that ntopng v3.6 is already using GeoLite2 database, and hooked up the remaining GeoLite2 update scripts.

I have attached the updated ntopng.inc function so that GeoIP update appears to be working correctly on my end. Overwrite the file at /usr/local/pkg/ntopng.inc and run the GeoIP update via the GUI.

Nicely done! Flags are showing up now. GeoMap not working for me but I suspect it's missing the API key. Will look into that later.

Thanks :)

Hello,

I just installed and tested the package on 244 r3 and it is simply not working.

It realize that is possible to work around the issue with some tricks and downloads. But I would really appreciate if the bug was fixed (by generating a package based on v3.8 or later).

So I really regret that after six month there is still no action planned.

Sincerely,

Louis

Was on 244_p2 and ntopng crashed after update to p3.

uninstalled ntopng, reinstalled and replaced with the new ntopng.inc provided earlier by Lo and it's working again.

As mentioned by Lo 3.6 already works with v2 Geo databases. So while the situation isn't ideal at least a workaround is available.

Added how to https://forum.netgate.com/topic/141150/ntop-geo-map/6

This now broken again due MaxMind require LicenseKeys usage now https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/

Solved Working now again!!
