your posting seems a bit offtopic and more networking related,
you'll probably get more advises at debian-user or whatever 
user group.
nevertheless take a look at mrtg (google will help you)

How to access remote proc file system?

[sandeep chavan]

 Hi all. I am an enggineering student working on a 
project distributed systems monitoring and management.
 I want to ask u that how can i access /proc files
from
 remote machine? suppose i want to watch /proc/cpuinfo
of machine A from macine B. Then how can i do it?
Using this i want to monitor and manage the network
from a central location eliminating the need for me
(administrator) to login at each client machine to see
it's status. Storing the result in buffer is one way
as i can see. but the work will become tedious.
Another way suggested to me is to use
SSH. Setup password-less authentication for SSH and
then 
acces /proc of the other machines.

You can use SNMP. It's a horrible thing, but it works. Since it's not
a kernel stuff, it's not much points asking for details here.
