Mageia 6 :: x86_64

This is a network monitoring tool which depends on a redis server.
Installed redis and started it as a service.
As root:
# ntopng
Resulted in a stack dump and eventual "Aborted (core dumped)"

Update the ntopng packages, which pulled in a newer version of redis.
Restarted the redis server and as root (uses port 6379):
# ntopng
05/Feb/2018 09:06:59 [Ntop.cpp:1121] Setting local networks to 127.0.0.0/8
05/Feb/2018 09:06:59 [Redis.cpp:92] Successfully connected to redis 127.0.0.1:6379@0
05/Feb/2018 09:06:59 [PcapInterface.cpp:85] Reading packets from interface enp3s0...
05/Feb/2018 09:06:59 [Ntop.cpp:1267] Registered interface enp3s0 [id: 0]
................................

It looks perfectly stable.

Using the help command to list the available interfaces:
# ntopng -h
< general help information>

Available interfaces (-i <interface index>):
   1. enp3s0
   2. any
   3. lo
   4. wlp6s0
   5. bluetooth0
   6. bluetooth-monitor
   7. nflog
   8. nfqueue
   9. usbmon1
   10. usbmon2
   11. usbmon3
   12. usbmon4

The ntopng command by itself is equivalent to
# ntopng -i 1

That is as far as I can take it with my limited knowledge of networking.
