  • My only experience with NetFlow collection is on my home firewall/router running pfSense Community Edition, which is free to download and can be installed on a wide assortment of X86 hardware. I installed the Softflowd package, which exports NetFlow data to a dedicated Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana (ELK) server on my LAN. I believe Security Onion and ElastiFlow also can be NetFlow collectors.
