PRTG is a simple monitoring utility that can be used to monitor almost any item that provides SNMP data plus it has a built in traffic sniffer. PRTG is quite similar to MRTG however PRTG is very simple to install and use. PRTG has a GUI and a built in web server which can be used to view reports. Here is a sample report:
You can read about all features on the homepage of the product.
PRTG is a commercial application, however there is a free version which supports up to three sensors, meaning that you can monitor 3 items. In my opinion PRTG is a very decent tool that can simplify monitoring of various items and events.
You can download various versions of PRTG from this page:

We have been looking into IP network monitoring tool that can provide more in-depth analysis and troubleshooting capabilities along with reporting features that tools like MRTG provide. Intelica IP Intelligence seemed to be pretty interesting product as it supports packet recording, decoding and analysis with ability to go back in time and perform detailed diagnosis on root-cause.
It’s key features include dashboard based reporting, seemless integration of analysis, reporting, packet decodes along with real-time expert analysis. It also provides in-depth information on TCP connection performance and application monitoring.
With support of virtually unlimited storage, it allows a network administrator to collect and store raw packets for several days along with detailed statistics and ability to go back in time and troubleshoot problems first time they happen.
