Score: 7.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Xenoeye is a lightweight network traffic collector and analyzer that ingests Netflow/IPFIX/sFlow data and stores it in PostgreSQL or ClickHouse for visualization in Grafana. It focuses on efficient monitoring of medium to large networks with features like moving averages for DDoS detection and threshold-based alerting, without relying on AI. Its support for ARM64 and low resource usage makes it interesting for both small and large deployments.

Target audience: network engineers, devops, security engineers
