ntopng-admin
Professional network monitoring and device identification using ntopng Redis data. Designed for security auditing and diagnostic environments.
Why use this skill?
Optimize your network security and diagnostics with the ntopng-admin skill. Audit internal traffic, identify devices, and monitor gateway performance securely.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/transcendenceia/ntopng-adminWhat This Skill Does
The ntopng-admin skill acts as a secure interface between the OpenClaw agent and your local network's ntopng monitoring system. By leveraging secure SSH tunnels to query Redis data, it allows the agent to perform granular audits, identify connected devices, and analyze traffic patterns in real-time. It transforms raw network telemetry into actionable insights, helping administrators monitor device health, bandwidth consumption, and potential security anomalies within their infrastructure.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/transcendenceia/ntopng-admin. Ensure that your host machine has ssh and jq installed, and verify that your public SSH key is correctly authorized on the target OPNsense or ntopng gateway. Once installed, configure the OPNSENSE_HOST and OPNSENSE_SSH_PORT environment variables to match your network topology to allow the agent to establish a secure connection.
Use Cases
This skill is designed for high-visibility environments where network integrity is paramount. Security professionals use it to conduct rapid forensics on suspicious internal devices, identifying unauthorized external domains contacted by compromised hardware. Network administrators utilize it for routine capacity planning, auditing active connections, and verifying that IoT or legacy devices are adhering to expected traffic behavior. It is also an essential tool for troubleshooting connectivity issues by providing a clear view of packet flow and device-specific stats.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, run a status check on the gateway and list the top 10 devices by traffic volume for the last hour."
- "Investigate the device with IP 192.168.1.50 and provide a summary of the external domains it has connected to recently."
- "Is there any unusual traffic activity or high packet counts currently coming from the workstation with MAC address 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E?"
Tips & Limitations
Always exercise caution when granting the agent access to your gateway. Because this tool handles sensitive network metadata, it is strictly intended for lab or audited production environments. Always use passphrase-protected SSH keys and avoid running this in environments where data exfiltration is a concern. The accuracy of the data is strictly dependent on the health of your local ntopng Redis store; if the service is down or persistence is disabled, the skill will be unable to report current metrics. Always verify the output before executing automated remediation based on these logs.
