There are few companies that offer stuff similar to MRTG, for arm & a leg, ;)
e.g. INS, but most of their stuff is not customizable, I think Cisco
re-sales that stuff. But output from INS is "very pretty", your veeepees will
love it.
The most popular public domain thing out there is MRTG, its free
its cool, although SNMP wise its not at all efficient, neither are any of
the commercial tools efficient in that regard.
You can get more information about MRTG from
http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html
Once you get handle on MRTG, all you need to do is browse the Cisco
mibs @ ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/
Since you have programmers in-house, MRTG would be the best bet.
