Only insofar as they provide a method to gather the data. You still have to collect, collate, and interpret the data. As someone else mentioned, cricket is a great way to do this. I wrote some cricket scripts which assist in collecting traffic, memory, and CPU stats from the proc filesystem. Unfortunately my web server is down due to some restructuring at work - I'll find a place to post those. Since they use info from /proc, you don't need the overhead of an snmp daemon. The one thing my scripts didn't do was deal well with discontinuities, like you get when there's a reboot or some other "catastrophic" event.
