The ELK stack does a good job of collecting netflow records with the addition of Filebeat.  Check out my tattle-tale 
tool that collects netflow data: https://github.com/racompton/tattle-tale It has numerous rules in logstash/conf.d to 
try to just look for spoofed DDoS amplification requests but if you remove those rules (except for 
40-ifName.conf<https://github.com/racompton/tattle-tale/blob/main/logstash/conf.d/40-ifName.conf>
and 50-reverse-dns.conf<https://github.com/racompton/tattle-tale/blob/main/logstash/conf.d/50-reverse-dns.conf>) it 
should be a pretty nice netflow collection solution.  If you are looking for a free solution to identify DDoS attacks 
from netflow and generate Flowspec rules, check out https://github.com/pavel-odintsov/fastnetmon
Also, here’s a doc for best practices when implementing Flowspec: https://www.m3aawg.org/flowspec-BP

Try FlowViewer (analyzing, graphing, tending software) + SiLK (robust, high-performance capture software from 
Carnegie-Mellon).

Pretty full netflow analysis package; free.

I’m looking for a free-ish Linux open sources Netflow collector/analyser.  I have 5 Juniper MX routers that will send 
IPFIX flows to for an ISP network.    I’m hoping it is something I can run in AWS/EC2 as I don’t want to worry about 
storage again in my lifetime.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

For reporting I would like to generate basic  usage reports to/from IP/Subnet/ASN.  It would be great if it could also 
detect DDoS and activate flowspec back into my core routers but that isn’t a requirement

Thanks
