agreed. MRTG/Cricket would be easier. but, there are advantages to keep network data. how i would go about it is to first created the groupings. i define some tags that will be assigned to each group (read flow-tags man page for more information on writing the tag configuration).
the i write a bunch of scripts that do daily, monthly, yearly processing. the script will flow-cat the information for tagging by flow-tag and then summarization by flow-stat/flow-report. it is a bit harder than MRTG but you get to keep a number of details and your reports are a wee bit more flexible. good luck!
