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.
- CVE-2022-46169: Unauthenticated Command Injection in Cacti detected as being exploited in the wild - see comments

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.

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