Absolutely. Check out Cacti http://cacti.net/

There are lots of alternatives to Cacti too (MRTG, even doing graphing in
your system monitoring tool like Nagios.) You might also find it easier to
monitor the switch instead of the servers if that's possible with your gear.
This way, you configure the switch once and can monitor all the servers on
it instead of having to configure each server individually to allow snmp
access.
