David you are right because -F in nprobe is the dump frequency, but the -D option allows you to specify the export format for the data (-D t export flows in text file). However to achieve your goal, you still need a bit of post process, because you have to parse each file and aggregate the data in the way you would like to export (using the metrics you are interested in).
