Need some network monitoring tool

Hey guys,
I am in need of a tool to monitor the current usage of the network interfaces on my VPS node, current usage and if possible (not a must) some history. Some kind of slave-master configuration would work as well (master web interface to displey the data of all the monitored vps nodes - slaves). RHEL5 and RHEL6 systems.
Thanks in advance.

cacti?
As far as I know observium needs its own php server and mysql DB, would it in somehow interact with solusvm running on the node?
Cacti would work fine
there we go
Good old mrtg.
2¢ for RRDtool
Observium, collectd, cacti...any of a handful of others
munin?
Zabbix
http://www.wireshark.org is a nice one. You can also write lua scripts for it to do custom things.

Just plugging: http://raymii.org/cms/p_Bash_PHP_Server_Status_Monitor now has history and saves network traffic. As you can see here: http://vps11.sparklingclouds.nl/status/stat.php the Vserver nodes at Edis.at (vps12 and vps13) (@William) are on 5 TB of TX and almost 3 TB of RX network traffix.
@alex_liquidhost collectd for stats collection, transmission and threshold monitoring. It's light, coded with security in mind, mature and offers a ton of plugins including libvirt and openvz. Means you can run a single collectd instance on a node and also get stats per container (in addition to the node itself).
Collectd will save the stats in rrd format so there's a bunch of tools that can read that and present graphs, including mrtg and visage (web 2.0 goodness). See here for more: http://collectd.org/related.shtml
@Zen good work!
