Description
Hello dear sirs! Used nprobe last stable released version 10.6.250403 with ntopng version 6.2.
i encounter bug in nprobe. my host have 3 interfaces. and on each interface i have bunch of ip addresses.
when supplying nprobe with command line parameter --agent-mode it will produce in logs single line
[nprobe.c:9545] Packet capture filter set to "host 1.2.3.4"
but interface have "1.2.3.4" and "5.6.7.8" and "9.10.11.12" addresses.
i tried supply my own filtering pattern via
-f="host 1.2.3.4 or host 5.6.7.8 or host 9.10.11.12"
but in agent-mode nprobe completely ignore that param :(
is this a bug or desired program behavior ?
in fact i can't use process monitoring functionality as described in ntopng manual on site.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with --agent-mode on interfaces that have multiple IP addresses, then inspect the behavior reported at nprobe.c:9545. Check whether the supplied -f filter is ignored in agent mode and compare the capture filter with all interface addresses. Done means the behavior is corrected or clearly documented if it is intentional.
