Yea i have flow tools and silk and a few others but none of them can make sense out of the flow dumps that the nTop Netflow plugin generates. I read something that said ntop generates netflow v5 dump files. Every tool i've used to translate V5 netflow fails on these files. I read something else that said these dump files are in a gnu db format or mySQL.
I'm using nTop just as a netflow collector middle man so that i can get the netflow data into the analytic software we are using here. Is there a better way to collect netflow that will run on windows and support netflow V1-9 and IPFIX? I would prefer to have the data in a csv format.
