MRTG works in either environment and I've had it running under both. I
used it initially for pinging, then to keep an eye on traffic. With
some playing around, you can graph whatever you want, although its
successor might be a better choice (RRD).
There are some really cool virtual appliances that come with everything
prepackaged (vmware.com) and will run under vmplayer (or ESX). Very
good way to check things out. Cactus is pretty cool, as RRD goes. Some
combine packages.
I've mentioned The Dude (mikrotik.com), which is cross-platform and will
tell you almost anything you want to know, impress your boss with blinky
graphics, and call you when anything goes wrong. You can ask it to
check things it doesn't out of the box via scripting.
Good luck.
