Free netflow collector that forwards messages to a syslog server?
I use goflow2 to do something like this. I don't specifically use syslog itself for this, but mtail to generate the metrics.

Netflow collector software for lab purpose
I've been using this one: https://github.com/netsampler/goflow2

Open source suggestions for implementing traffic analyzer based on sflow protocol
Take a look at goflow2 which is based on Cloudflare's flow analysis pipeline.

What are you using for scalable (1.5 million+ per minute), multi-type (SNMP, REST API, cli/scripted) metrics collection and storage in 2023?
I'm not particularly familiar with netflow formats, but this collector emits Prometheus metrics.

IT Pro Tuesday #230 - Multi-Monitor Tool, NetFlow Collector, PowerShell Blog & More
GoFlow2 is a high-performance sFlow/IPFIX/NetFlow collector that gathers network information and serializes it in a common format. This fork of CloudFlare's GoFlow provides horizontal scalability, consistent format and the ability to work with raw samples and build aggregation and custom enrichment. Our thanks for this suggestion goes to SuperQue.

You want something like goflow2.

Integrating Cisco ASR with Splunk without Splunk Stream.
I would greatly appreciate insights and recommendations from those who have experience in this area. Additionally, I'm interested in hearing your opinions on the best tool for this task: nProbe or goflow? Your rationale behind your recommendation would be invaluable.

Sflow/netflow platform with ArubaOS-CX
All in one platform would be preferred, but Docker could sway me to something else. Meaning, I don't want to install a bunch of puzzle pieces to get up and running. GoFlow would be an example here.
- Linux Network Traffic Monitor
-
Netflow Monitoring Software Based on FLOSS
Cloudflare goflow / flow-pipeline
- Large scale flow collection
-
Monitoring 5,000 nodes
For example, for a lot of IDS work, you want to capture netflows if you can. This is something you could do with goflow. Then you can use whatever SIEM/flow analysis tools to figure out what is touching each network location.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing goflow2 and goflow you can also consider the following projects:
ElastiFlow - Network flow analytics (Netflow, sFlow and IPFIX) with the Elastic Stack
prometheus - The Prometheus monitoring system and time series database.
flow-pipeline - A set of tools and examples to run a flow-pipeline (sFlow, NetFlow)
vFlow - Enterprise Network Flow Collector (IPFIX, sFlow, Netflow)
ntopng - Web-based Traffic and Security Network Traffic Monitoring
picosnitch - Monitor Network Traffic Per Executable, Beautifully Visualized
loki - Like Prometheus, but for logs.
Grafana - The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.
