Or use MRTG. While this would be another piece of software to set up,  
this is exactly what it is designed for. You can either set it up to  
alert itself, or (as I am doing) use one of the nagios plugins that  
checks the mrtg log files. The benifit of doing things this way is  
that you get the nice pretty MRTG graphs (not that you couldn't jigger  
nagios to produce them as well, but I don't know how hard that would  
be), while keeping a single point of monitoring/alerting.
