FWIW, graphs seem to work better with managers than numbers do. An idea might be to run rrdcollect (rrdcollect.sourceforge.net) to collect the network traffic counters / cpu counters, etc from /proc. It runs as a daemon and can natively update an .rrd. Recently I ran into a case where the year,month, and week history graphics did more convincing than any numbers could have... It might be an option before going to the full-blown nagios approach. I'd share my .lrp with you, but the boxes are running libc, not uclibc.
