We released a user module with NetFlow/IPFIX probe and collector. The module captures a source and a destination IP address of each observed network communication and the amount of data exchanged. This can be used by network monitors such as PRTG to identify unusual traffic flows caused by misconfigurations, security incidents or policy violations.
