I am tracking network traffic of my TPLink router using a Raspberry Pi that is running collecd.

Install collectd with sudo apt-get install collectd collectd-utils

Edit /etc/collectd/collectd.conf to enable the SNMP plugin (uncomment) and to configure. Here's an example of my setup:

<Plugin snmp>
  <Data "if_Octets">
    Type "if_octets"
    Table true
    Values "IF-MIB::ifInOctets" "IF-MIB::ifOutOctets"
  </Data>
  <Host "tp-link">
    Address "192.168.0.1"
    Version 1
    Community "public"
    Collect "if_Octets"
    Interval 60
  </Host>
</Plugin>

I set it up to send metrics to www.librato.com as it was the quick and simple (no installation of metric data store or visualization required).
