Throwing my hat in the ring also (vendor from fmadio)
https://github.com/fmadio/pcap2json

Not exactly a newflow collector, its pcap -> flowgen -> elk on a single
box, working very well so far, still work in progress.

Problem with logstash is its too slow for high flow rates. So we did
everything inside the flow generator for direct ELK bulk uploads removing
logstash completely.

Cheers
