Take a look at CiscoWorks 2000, it seems to do most of what you want to do.
You will also want to get hold of a Cisco White Paper called "Cisco Network
Monitoring and Event Correlation Guidelines" v1.5 Jan 1999.
This is a really excellent document which gives a lot of help on what sort
of MIB objects you want to monitor, what thresholds to set and how to
configure the routers and switches to allow you to do this.
There is also a very useful section towards the end on Event correlation.
Hope this helps...
