If the stats you want to graph don't lend themselves naturally to SNMP,
consider using Orca (based on RRDtool, the same core as MRTG):

I use both where appropriate.  Orca has a great plugin available to
process the output of the Sun Performance Toolkit and generate voluminous
graphs on system state.
