An incredibly powerful free tool that has been around a long time is Mikrotik's 'The Dude'. Source: about 2 years ago
If you have a powerful enough router in the network, one of your options is to use The DUDE (Documentation). Note that DUDE requires IP access to WinBox from the management network. For some more features, you should also enable SNMP on your routers. DUDE server can also host a syslog server, so you can have centralized log ingestion. The downside of this solution is that it's unfortunately not a fully-featured... Source: over 2 years ago
“The Dude” is what the tool is called (yeah I don’t know why they called it that either). It’s a client-server application and the server nowadays only runs on a Mikrotik router as a separate package. You could use any Mikrotik router but since it’s heavy on logging I use a Mikrotik CHR as a VM just to host the dude. The free CHR license gives you 1Mbps throughput which for SNMP monitoring is plenty. Source: about 3 years ago
MikroTik has a software called The Dude, that runs on some sort of computer acting as a server (an always on computer to receive, monitor, and store the data collected from the statistics). This would be the best way to achieve what you want to do (collecting user usage statistics and storing it in one place). Source: about 3 years ago

We use NetXMS for that https://netxms.com/. You can configure literally any metric and monitor it. On the other hand, I've heard good things about PRTG. You should give it a try. Also, might give you some ideas. Source: about 2 years ago
We are using netxms (https://netxms.com/), an open-source solution that acts as a log watcher for us. This might be also helpful https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/vmware-monitoring-with-sexigraph-new-release. Source: over 2 years ago
I use Zabbix in my lab only. According to that experience, it performs well. At work, we use netxms for monitoring multiple servers: https://netxms.com/. You install the agent on the client locations. You can configure it to collect any metrics you need. Another approach is combining a few tools.
