You can use cacti + snmp. All you have to do is install and configure snmp on 
all your machines and then set up cacti + web server with php on some machine 
to gather all the info from the others via snmp. You will get nice graphs 
(cacti uses rrdtools) for almost everything you can get via snmp (disk usage, 
cpu utilization, network traffic, load average,...........) where you can 
utilize hirstorical view (last week, last month, from xxx to xxx, .......).
