I'm nearing completion of what I'm looking for. Once I get the last few kinks ironed out, I'll work on cleaning up my install and hopefully putting together a new blog post\guide on how to do what I did. Netflow data with ASNs (extra work because Mikrotik) is making it into Elasicsearch and Kibana sees the index and the fields in it. I imported a dashboard from somewhere that relied on some different values than I'm currently pushing from pmacct.

Re: [pmacct-discussion] pmacct + ELK made easy?
Perhaps I should back up and request a beginners guide to pmacct. Most of what I've read today has largely assumed you already know what you're doing. I haven't found a good from the ground-up setup guide. I generally prefer installing whatever package is in the distro's repository to make upgrades and dependencies easier, but it seems like pmacct has limited plugin packages. Strangely, it seems like Debian is more current than Ubuntu at the moment (1.6.1 vs. 1.5.2). Anyway, I digress. So what do I need to do to get to that point? Download and extract the tar. I'm not sure which plugins I need to enable at compilation as I'm not sure where I'm sending the data. So far I've gone forward with just jansson, which may not even be needed, I don't know.

Excellent stuff, Anthony. Precisely what we need, experience from ops. Look forward to it and to giving it the proper visibility.

Depending on your level of netflow you may have to look for an alternative backend. I am currently working on a post that describes how I am using pmacct to process about 100Billion records a day and storing it for visualization with superset.
