        I use nfsen, and install it on new deployments. I even have a simple 
Ansible cookbook to automate installations.

        I think it does what it does pretty well and is very light. Of course 
heavier solutions based on Elasticsearch are very powerful and extensible. But 
for small ASen with not a lot of technical people, it is still the best fit.

        Perhaps this chap has a fair idea of what the GUI could look like, 
although the backend (at least the last time I checked it out) is hacky:
        https://github.com/mbolli/nfsen-ng

        I would certainly be very happy to see nfsen rewritten and packaged. I 
would be willing to test and maybe help with Debian packaging (my experience 
with the latter is limited, but am willing to give it a go).
