since i already display lots of data about my leaf-boxes i figured i
could atlest mention how.
i have about 10 leaf boxes running, some as firewall, some as router,
some as bridges, some as IDS systems.
on all of them i run net-snmp, and and collect snmp data and graph it
using cricket, on a debian sarge webserver. This works, but can take
quite some time to configure for each and every node. since they are not
identical setups.

If i was to do it over again now. I would have used a simpler solution,
that dont involve meddeling in snmp space. i would just install the
munin-node package. 
it can provide you with rrd graphs of all network traffic, load, cpu
interupts etc etc etc. is rather low on cpu and load.
If you want to graph attacks in logs you can use the loggrep module
that's included.
If you only run 1 leaf box, and want to show the result on Leaf box in
question. you would also need the munin-server and a http server to
display the result. 

the munin-node package is  897k in debian sarge, and the munin
(server/collector) is 528k, this could probably be made much smaller.
for a leaf box.

an online munin example : http://www.linpro.no/projects/munin/example/

if you want summaries of logs you can use logcheck, and instead of the
defaul of email you the results, you could have it show the data on a
web page. or use munin loggrep if you want to make graphs from it.

just my 2 cent.
