as others have said, MS-mrtg is really useful for looking at trends and 
for flagging issues (like a growing outbound queue spool). It really 
shows up the continuing issue of "orphaned" df files in mqueue.in. As 
Res (I think) said, the author is pretty helpful, I submitted a few 
cosmetic fixes to him last year and he was quick to incorporate them.

probably not the prettiest graphs out there but I have a years worth of 
stats from each relay to show the PHBs (pictures very important).

was interested to hear of some other software in this area altho not 
likely to switch due to amount of info already invested in ms-mrtg.
