Flowview was made as a viewer for flow-tools.

I'm not sure if it will work correctly with nfsen. In the plugin, there is an included init.d script for the flow-tools so that it can open up separate processes for each device you want to monitor.

A quick google shows multiple howtos on getting it all setup.

I've just made it work with nProbe to capture/support Netflow 9/IPFIX/sFlow stuff as well as long as you don't mind lossing information due to the down-conversion to Netflow v5 involved.
