Well in my never ending search to find a good tool that runs on *nix /apache/php/mysql to graph traffic usage/server statistics, I came across something the other day that is very cool...
http://www.raxnet.net/products/cacti/
It is like MRTG on sterioids, and takes the work out of getting MRTG to graph mem usage/logged on users/other various server statistics. I am now using this at two separate places, one of which we are now keeping statistics on 10 or so 48 port and up switches as well as a few servers (when all is said and done, we will be monitoring about double the switches and 10 servers)
anyways, I invite anyone to check it out if they want a nice web based solution to track network/server stats
