Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I want to process Netflow/IPFIX data. FileBeat and LogStash, for instance, have an input plugin to do so. FluentD too.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
I'd like Fluent-Bit has a Netflow/IPFIX input plugin to act as a Netflow/IPFIX collector.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Use anothe log collector/forwarder.

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by studying Fluent Bit's existing input plugins and how they collect and parse network data, then define the NetFlow/IPFIX protocol scope, configuration, and test coverage; done means Fluent Bit can collect and process the requested data as a supported input.
