Recent versions of MRTG supports Threshold. Paste from documentation:
"Through its threshold checking functionality mrtg is able to detect
threshold problems for the various targets and can call external scripts
to handle those problems (e.g. send email or a page to an
administrator)."
Check
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg-reference.html for
how to use it.
