    https://github.com/phaag/nfdump its an "simple" collector. It is just an CLI tool. If you can utilize the cli it's a monster to analyze the raw data. if you need a fancy gui then this is the wrong collector.

    Try the open source nfdump (this should also be a package in Debian/Ubuntu at least). You would configure 'nfcapd' to receive netflow data, then process it with 'nfdump' which is a commandline tool for obtaining statistics on traffic (e.g. top N IPs for bytes/flows, etc).

    For the quick look nfdump https://github.com/phaag/nfdump is in use. Since it is a CLI tool, it is not really suitable for managers.
