What software to use to generate bandwidth graphs in real time?

Question

What sofware could I use to monitor my server's bandwidth in realtime, or at least, update every x minutes.

My server (dell r620) is connected to a routerboard Mikrotik rb1200. But, as my router is set to behave like a switch, it does not allow to monitor the traffic on the port the server is connected to.

The only solution I think would be to install a snmp server on the server. What do you recommend?

Look at Cacti or Icinga w/ PNP4Nagios if you're a fan of OSS, otherwise, look at SolarWinds Orion.
