What? Serious? You can use PRTG as a netflow analyzer without paying for it?

prtg is free for 100 sensors
1 senor = netflow

Ended up trying this one (https://sourceforge.net/projects/flowviewer/ <https://sourceforge.net/projects/flowviewer/>)

Got the back-end (Silk) up and collection flows, just having a heck of a time trying to get the front-end to see the back-end.

I'm sure it's something simple.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I may end up trying another if I can't get this one going....

Not free at all - but I've explored many of the products out there. The one I like the most isn't free and isn't on prem so finding a way to set up a tunnel with them would be beneficial.

I've used ntop, scrutinizer (pretty good actually and has a free level I believe) and the netflow analyzer. If I recall it was $1500 for 10 interfaces. If you pipe everything through some 10Gbps channels you only need to use 1-2. Any of them require a good processor and good disk IO (use an ssd) so plan accordling. Or just use amazon and set up a tunnel to them to dump the data.

That ELK version looks interesting though. I'm not a huge fan of ELK at all but I do want to take a look at it now.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good (preferably open-source) NetFlow analyzer? Ntop's pricing scheme seems to be a little steep for the amount of data I need to collect...

Thanks,
Justin
