We aren't doing any monitoring of the X55e directly, although I just logged into one of them and see under System Status -> Components List a SNMP Daemon listed. And under Administration -> SNMP I see a few options for SNMP (and v2 and v3 support) as well as a link to a support document which reads in part:
A MIB (Management Information Base) is a database of objects that can be monitored by a network management system. The Firebox X Edge e-Series supports six different public, read-only MIBs: IP-MIB IF-MIB TCP-MIB UDP-MIB SNMPv2-MIB RFC1213-MIB We do monitoring on our managed switches for our smaller offices that have the Edge devices (Dell PowerConnect 5324 switches I believe) and against the core switches at the datacenter where everything terminates. Based on the MIB list about you should be able to get started! There is more information in the Edge Help documents where I got that.

Would you mind sharing your knowledge on how you went about doing it ?

That being said, if the X55e doesn't support SNMP (it might -- I'd have to check) out of the box you could always monitor the other interface that is connected (so instead of monitoring LAN1 on the device, monitor the switch port it's plugged into).

I want to know the bandwidth usage at a few of our sites so that we can upgrade the lines. They are serviced office units which inevitable means that no one knows whats going on and the management company don't keep bandwidth usage stats, so it's up to us to sell ourselves an upgrade. I've had a look around but there's nothing on the web that I can see that might help. The units are X55e ones, nothing fancy.
