[flow-tools] flow-report&host-profiling

Hi
I am running the patched version of flowtools 0.63. I am investigating the
rich variety of reports that can be generated with flow-report. 
I wonder how to put it to best use in generating network use profiles for
each of our hosts in preparation for firewalling ?

So far I have produced some nice daily reports from our stored flows
but I need some way of aggregating and storing the information in the 
reports over a longer periods of time - probably in a mysql db so that 
they can be queried using a myphpadmin type interface.

Are there other gems in the flowtools suite that I'm not exploiting yet,
if not what are other people doing to present their reports?

Any comments & thoughts gratefully received.
