 what should I monitor as a general rule on each switch? Router?

Here we monitor:
CPU Load
IOS Version
Input Errors
Ping
SNMP Traps
Uptime
Various interface statuses
All interfaces' bandwidth via MRTG

Further to what Jeff said, we also monitor NTP sync status and telnet.

We tend to run things at varying intervals though... ifstatus is
checked every time we get an SNMP iface down trap and otherwise once
every 5 mins, NTP is checked once a day, etc, etc.

Depends on your requirements (of course). Depending on the device we
monitor:
- CPU usages (especially at routers and VPN devices)
- Memory usages (not that important usually)
- LAN Interfaces to other network components
- WAN interfaces
- Power Supplies (especially redundant PSUs)
- Fans
- Voltages (not that important)
- Temperatures
- Connections/Sessions (Firewalls and VPN devices)

CU,
Peter
