Napatech

Configuration & building

First Installation

• download latest Napatech drivers and untar it into e.g. /opt/napatech3
• build the driver
• download the the sniffer's source

cd /usr/src
git clone https://github.com/voipmonitor/sniffer.git
cd sniffer
./configure

Install all libraries that the configure needs.

• edit INCLUDES and LIBS_PATH lines in the Makefile

INCLUDES = -I/usr/napatech3/include -I/usr/local/include ${MYSQLINC} -I jitterbuffer/ ${JSONCFLAGS} ${GLIBCFLAGS}
LIBS_PATH = -L/opt/napatech3/lib -L/usr/local/lib/

• run make
• check it's built properly

root@server:/usr/src/sniffer# ldd ./voipmonitor | grep pcap
	libpcap.so.1 => /opt/napatech3/lib/libpcap.so.1 (0x00007fc0b69b0000)

• replace original binary in the /usr/local/sbin
• run it

Upgrade

cd /usr/src/sniffer
git pull
make

• copy to the original directory and restart sensor

Settings

• in voipmonitor.conf

Timing source In napatech where timestamp of packets is shifted to GMT and you want use system time instead: GMT:

TimeSyncConnectorExt1 = PpsIn

System dependent:

TimeSyncConnectorExt1 = NttsIn
