The appfinder and the autogenerated portion of the menu scan standard
directories for .desktop files that describe the application[1]. If
you don't see your application, either the app doesn't provide a
iftraf.desktop file or installs it in an unexpected place.

You could a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications to see the app
show up. You could, if you were feeling frisky, send the file on to
the iftraf maintainers so others don't have your problem
