Would anyone care to share their experience using collectd as an alternative to rtg for high-resolution polling of interface traffic and long term storage? I am investigating the various options for large data set size, lossless long term traffic charting (not RRAs which lose precision over time). One possible use is precision 95th billing. https://collectd.org/
Devices that support sFlow natively implement collectd type functionality for streaming interface counters to a time series database (InfluxDB, Graphite, OpenTSB, etc.) Tools like Grafana can be used to query the database and build dashboards. Host sFlow (http://sflow.net) is very similar to collectd in the metrics it exports, but with the added ability to export flow data from host adapters, bridges, vSwitches, firewalls, routing, VMs, containers etc.
