Hi,

We currently use a number of flow-tools servers, and are looking to migrate to 
nfdump/nfsen due to lack of development of flow-tools(It has served us well for 
10years)

We predominantly use flow-tools for IP billing, and basic traffic analysis.

With our current flow-tools deployments, we store 40Gb of historic flow data 
(./flow-capture -w /netflow/oar/krc3.v5 -E40G ...), once the flow data reaches 
40Gb in this dir the oldest data is removed/deleted - Is this housekeeping 
feature available in nfcapd?   (The 40G gives us ~1month of raw flow data 
history if we need to perform traffic analysis for a client)

We also run a cron job every morning just after midnight, that dumps the 
previous 24 hours flow data into the following file format:

# src IPaddr     dst IPaddr       flows                 octets                
packets

We then import this into sql/billing system

Can nfdump produce something "similar" to this?  (And is it possible to have 
the flow data directory structure as /YYYY/MM/DD/flow data in 5 or 10 min file?)

Thanks in advance.
