Hey Matt,
Don't forget you need a "-B secs" option for rastream() to work.
If you are reading argus data, set it to 2x your flow status interval.
I haven't used a "-", but it shouldn't make a difference.  I use '.'

The commit that extends support for the data source of an "rasqlinserted" argus DB can be reviewed: https://github.com/constcast/flow-inspector/commit/e800598c3481c8ec6a44b103d98906668f612546.  It would be great to have an ra* client that would BLPOP() data into a redis queue.  A python script takes in a few IPFIX information elements about the flows and inserts them into a backend DB (mysql, oracle, or mongo).  I've been going back and forth with Lothar Braun who has been quite responsive.
