There are additional MIBs to cover most/all of the things you list, and it's not too hard to extend with any custom monitoring you need (I've extended mine to monitor some qmail-specific variables, for instance). It's in ports as net-mgmt/net-snmp. There's quite a bit of overlap between some data-processing apps and the data-collection part though. For instance, Cacti is a MRTG-alike with a nice web UI, but it also has some of the data collection scripts you might need, similarly with Remstats, if it is still developed. Either way, it'd be an unusual data-collection/data-processing admin tool that didn't understand SNMP. Best Regards, Howie
