This really depends on what exactly you are monitoring. If it is just ICMP (ping), traffic will be minimal. If you are doing a few SNMP variables, again traffic should be fairly minimal. If you are however doing windows events, the story becomes different. Specifically the Exchange server can post several hundreds messages to the event logs a day (some do several 1000's). Another factor is the polling intervall. If you stay with 300 sec (5 min), ICMP and SNMP should have next to no impact on your line. For events, a test is necessary as this is not something to predict. It is vastly different from site to site.
Hope this helps.
