True. While you don't want the MRTG answer, I'd suggest looking at Cacti.
There's a large library of device profiles people have put together so as to
prevent you from having to hunt down MIBs/OIDs for devices. If you have a
database of your devices, it's fairly trivial to import them into Cacti once
you have the device profiles (I use a shell script and curl).
