Cricket's hardcore but pretty extensible. You have to have a good  
understanding of SNMP and rrdtool. http://cricket.sf.net is the only  
source of information that I am aware of. Note that general  
development ceased several years ago but there's not much that it  
lacks if you think of it as a framework. The user list is pretty  
inactive as well. If you do use it, the genRtrConfig and genDevConfig  
addons are extremely useful for adding in new devices.

If I were doing it again, I'd give Cacti a serious look. When we  
adopted cricket, cacti didn't scale very well and it didn't appear to  
have obvious ways to script the creation of new devices which we could  
do simply with cricket. I don't know if those have changed but Cacti  
appears to be very polished.
