Run MRTG on a server to collect the data via SNMP.

I believe the file format it uses to store the data is documented and can
be used for other applications too - YMMV, I've never actually tried it as
I just use it to draw pretty graphs.

You can't do anything on the switch that will "push" the data to the
server, one way or another you need a process on the server to pull the
data off.
