Visualizing flow information... about vflow HOT 2 CLOSED

@richb-hanover the vFlow produces data to the message bus (Kafka/NSQ/NATS) then you need to create your own consumer to insert to anywhere. depends on the load you need different strategies. one of the scenarios is ingesting to Elasticsearch then you can visualize them by Kibana. when you have mid-high load you need to have aggregation and warehousing. other solution could be TSDB/HBase w/ Grafana, Clickhouse, MemSQL w/ a BI. there are other valuable apps could be developed top of vFlow, like detect DDoS attack, anomaly detection w/ AI or network intruder detection.

Thanks for this feedback. My focus is relatively low-traffic: home routers.

I was wondering if you (or anyone else) have any examples of a graphical consumer that could show top talkers, top ports/protocols, etc. Thanks again.
