Re: CISCO netflow graphs on Linux



You are better off sticking to flatfiles, perl and RRD. Excel wont be able
to deal with the amount of data that netflow generates, and a database is
just a VERY expensive way of doing it (Data grows to at least 4 times the
size)...
Maybe you are agregating a lot more than we did...
