This is almost, but not quite, what I do.  Specifically, I use fprobe
to generate flows, and then nfsen/nfdump to generate the pretty
pictures that management seems to enjoy so much.  nfsen can be
configured to generate some of the information that you want, but you
can write your own perl scripts to parse the raw nfdump files and
extract whatever information you want.

  nfsen:  http://nfsen.sourceforge.net/
