You can do all this with the UC Davis snmp tools. If you have Debian,
just:
apt-get install snmp snmpd
For RH, well, I don't know, 'rpm -Uvh snmp*' ought to work if you
have the install disks (might be on the powertools disk).
RTFM and then configure the snmpd.conf file appropriately.
Once you have the snmpd.conf file edited appropriately and have
restarted snmpd, you can query it using snmpget, snmpwalk, etc.
It should be trivial to write a CGI-based web page to go out and
query systems for you.
Additionally, I know mrtg can be extended to query this type of stuff
as well, though it to uses the snmp stuff, so I think you still need
to start off configuring that.
Hope that helps.
