 Cacti

Cacti uses RRD (by MRTG Author Tobias Oetiker) for producing graphs of network traffic and other stats, but adds a great front end configuration and viewing packages aswell as doing the backend Data Collection. Its great strength is the use of templates to allow replication of the same graph styles across many data sources - aswell as just sheer ease of use! Again its free (Thank you Ian Berry) and runs on Linux or Windows.

For my own needs I've created several SNMP Queries and associated templates. Now with version 0.8.4 these can be easily exported and distributed. I've included mine here - I hope others find these useful.....
