Thanks ecross, it looks like a realtively easy product to get installed and up and running.

Personally I use MRTG with multiple front ends and also utilize WeatherMap to geographically plot device locations for visual representation. It too is free, and can be found here ...

The setup and installation of MRTG is much more complex than just installing an app and tuning it to your devices. However, it's script loaded so you can tweak it much more than a canned solution.
