What am I trying to do? As per the diagram above, OPNsense is the gateway and firewall that allows all internal networks to talk to the internet. I have few logical L2 networks configured in NSX and I want them to talk to the internet and physical networks (vlan 20, vlan 30) connected to OPNsense.

So how did I go about monitoring internet bandwidth consumption across all my devices? A NOC style interface will be cool! (click on the image above!) I got this done with the help of Grafana, influxdb, ntopng and Opnsense! TLDR: Opnsense -> ntopng -> Influxdb -> Grafana Opnsense is the gateway router....
