I've used PRTG in the past and it works great! However, it only shows
you circuit utilization. Suppose I wanted to see not only _HOW MUCH_
traffic is going over the circuit, but _WHAT_ is going over the circuit.
It would be nice to filter this information based on source IP address,
etc. but sometimes this level of detail is not necessary. Suppose,
however, that I wanted to see if all of the traffic on an OC3 circuit
was FTP or Internet Radio? I believe Netflow switching is a component of
doing the trick, but can you gather basic information simply from CLI
commands? Can you dump log files to a syslog server? Or do you need an
actual management suite application, such as Ciscoworks with the WAN/QoS
functionality?
Does anyone have any recommendations?

I responded directly and forgot to respond to the group with this:
On top of the MRTG/PRTG type tools, there's also one that I sometimes
use for immediate (non-historical) snmp bandwidth graphing called STG.
The only downside is that it only runs on Windows. It is *very*
straightforward if you need some quick info and polls the interface
once per second by default.
