Zabbix is probably overkill for what hes doing.  Its a whole NMS system.

If you're going that route, and have a box to throw at the problem,  
check out Hyperic (www.hyperic.com).  Its a bit weighty, but looks  
nice, and source was just released today.

Otherwise, if you want to see what's on the wire for real, you need a  
sniffer (ethernet card in promiscuous mode + ethereal [or something  
like it]).

If you're just trending system stats, check out munin.  Its 100x  
easier to setup than cacti.
