 +1 for ElastiFlow. Couldn't be easier to set up and run. Logstash has
native support for netflow and sflow now via codecs. Kibana is an
easy-to-use dashboard. I trimmed out a bunch of stuff in the ElastiFlow
config that assumed a unidirectional network (like a corporate site).

There is also https://github.com/robcowart/elastiflow which uses the ELK

* Flowmon

* Pmacct + supporting toolkit
* NFsen/Nfdump/AS-stats
* Put kibana/ES infront of any collector

Logstash has a netflow plugin as of 5.x or something
(https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/netflow-module.html) to
act as a collector.

A walkthrough:
http://www.routereflector.com/2017/07/elk-as-a-free-netflow-
ipfix-collector-and-visualizer/

Using the logstash module setup thing adds a whole bunch of pretty netflow
graphs and visualizations and such into Kibana for you.

Caveat:
Supports netflow v5 and v9, but does not indicate support for IPFIX
explicitly.  It definitely does not support sFlow, though if you really
want you can stick sflowtool in front of it to translate sFlow->netflow,
e.g. http://blog.sflow.com/2011/12/sflowtool.html.

* Solarwinds something something
* Different vendor toolkits
