I have done similar, however used a different approach.

using flowcat, flowfilter etc generated the output I needed. From the analysis 
of this data, I created a list of most frequent used ports (ssh, telnet, ftp, 
rdp etc)

make sure you have a totaldata variable somewhere, to have a reference on the 
data found.

create a job to update these specific ports. add rrd db for tcp, udp and icmp

create a graph where the data of all ports is stacked using different colors. 
On top, the line with totaldata and color the difference.

In the same graph, multiplied by -1, create a graph for tcp, udp and icmp

For me, this has given a great insight in traffic patterns and analysis if 
things were different than normal.

Additionally, I created a small job to display the top50 from netflow in a 
table on a webserver - combined with the rrd graph, the tooling to defend.
