Periodic network saturation
If you have SNMP access to your switches, a very simple quick start is to use Cacti (https://www.cacti.net/) which will give you some nice graphs in no time at all. Far less complex than setting up/configuring a full monitoring system or NetFlow/SFlow.

PHP errors with Cacti
This was fixed in the following commit https://github.com/Cacti/cacti/commit/d1c1380ad9250c323f1dc874e26840c80edd3afb, I suggest upgrading cacti to at least the 1.2.20 version.

What's a good free/cheap monitoring software?
Cactai is also free, but has a steep learning curve. https://www.cacti.net/

Nice write-up! I've done similar with Cacti, which is free.

Is there a good tool that I can deploy to a micro PC that can monitor/log/report different stats of network health?

Show min / max temperatures in lm_sensors
Pretty simple request, but I couldn't find any solution on the internet, neither in Archwiki / Gentoowiki. There are some complicated things like cacti that can read sensord output, but that's a bit of overkill. I just want something like hwinfo64 for $forbidden_OS.

Just to throw this one out there, I use cacti https://www.cacti.net/ for my network monitoring.

Possible to graph the number 'up' ports on a Cisco/extreme switch using SNMP
I''ve had good luck graphing our switch port statistics with Cacti.

Into my 6th year of this ... hobby?
As a matter of fact, I played with the now deprecated Elastiflow, however I couldn't get my head around managing ELK, scrapped it pretty quickly, and Netflow did not reach the meaningful stage at that time. OpenNMS looks pretty massive that I can't run it at the moment. Thanks for suggestion though.

Threat detection
One thing I ran for a while was security onion and utilized port mirroring to mirror the uplink port from my primary switch to my LAN on my router, so I was catching anything coming into/out of my network destined for internet. I've also used ElastiFlow ( https://github.com/robcowart/elastiflow ) which is absolutely phenomenal and awesome, I did the same and it provides some great data. You could also leverage IntelOwl ( https://github.com/intelowlproject/IntelOwl ) , one thing I have added to all my VMs is a OSSEC agent, Wazuh to be specific which is free ( https://github.com/wazuh/wazuh ) and while I am not using it to its full potential such as monitoring file deletions/modifications etc it is a powerful tool.

Monitoring all inter-VLAN traffic on 9410 switch?
I'd recommend taking a look at Elastiflow (link is to the legacy version, I haven't used the pay structured tier version that replaced it) as a flow collector. Do it in a docker container, dump netflow to it, and use a sample rate that doesn't fill your collector box with flow packets after a single day. Depends on your traffic rates. We use 1 out of 250 for our rate.
