Michael,
Look at IPCheck Server Monitor from Paessler
(http://www.paessler.com/ipcheck). You can use server-side programs to
feed data such as file counts to the software. The standard SNMP stuff
is supported, and that covers most of what you were wondering about. I
find the tool to be very useful in making quick determinations about
problems and also in terms of scaling my servers. I like this
software's interface not because it is the fanciest, but because it is
easy to review on a single page where you can see mini-graphs of every
sensor over the last several hundred samples, and that shows a good
picture of what is going on over a period of time without needing to
move from page to page.
There are some other solutions out there also for varying prices. MRTG
and other open source programs also do similar things if you are
comfortable with Linux or at least CYGWIN. I think it's worth the money
though to pay for a commercial product and save you time and frustration.
Note that since IPCheck Server Monitor saves the full history of samples
for querying, it will keep a disk running, so it is best to dedicate a
small box to it, and it is also good to put it on reliable bandwidth
separate from where your servers are so that you can detect networking
issues. It will run just fine on XP.

I'll probably get ridiculed but I recently discovered the joys of SNMP and I
found myself thinking "wouldn't it be cool if I could use SNMP to keep track
Declude performance?"
You know: queue sizes, number of threads, memory used, all that.
I already steal and parse the handy information out of the persistent
sniffer text file every few minutes, but doing an SNMP GET on a Declude OID
would be really handy.
...or am I just a greedy kid in a candy store?
