Hi, What i have been missing for so long, is the ability to create profiles from profiles.
I might have narrowed down what i want to look for but then i would like to narrow i further… That means sifting through the live profile again, that potentially is a lot of data. I really like the nfdump storage in files. It is simple easy, and rock solid. Maybe they could be spiced up with some additional external indexing features, letting the new nysen skip files that with certainty do not contain what is searched for. And performance wise, it would help a lot to process the files in parallel (using the existing nfdump tools). I’m all for python, and flask seems like a good lightweight choice. But maybe Django could bring a lot of other useful stuff to the table… users, groups authentication etc..
