I am using SNMP on all my servers and network devices. I monitor all my routers through this as well. All through the DUDE. Works well so far can see throughput on uplinks cpu usage, ram, etc
The Dude (of course!)
Cacti
Observium / LibreNMS
All using SNMP to collect stats from Mikrotik devices.
Honorable mention: PRTG
Librenms… Still looking for a good use of the NetFlow/ipfix… Seems like a lack of good free/open source tools for that.

I use pmacct (nfacctd) for collecting flows for statistics. It’s more of a tool to build a custom UI around it rather than a complete solution like Cacti or LibreNMS.
There’s also ntop for netflow, but I prefer it for checking realtime stuff rather than historical data.
Are there any frontends? Or what do you do with the pmacct data? It seems like all of the GUIs they list haven’t been touched for years… some even 10 years…
It’s true, there is no modern (or even usable) UI out there at the moment. So it’s not targeted to everyone.
The pmacct project is very much active. Paolo (main Author) keeps polishing and adding new features to the software and always replies to all questions in the mailing list.
It does much more than simple IP Accounting.
Here’s a speech on pmacct by Paolo himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXHERL8CH60
I personally store the pmacct data in a mysql database and then on a custom clients portal web interface I present those data using highchards (javascript charts library) and php.
I essentially use pmacct to do IP accounting. I measure the traffic for each IP address passing through the routers.
Oh yeah. pmacct is amazing, the issue is just the lack of a front end. I thought about pmacct → kafka → elasticsearch → grafana.
