ntop will provide pretty much anything you want, if you configure it
right.

I suggest you make sure your monitoring is legal.  Currently I believe
you need to inform all staff (best probably in their contract) that
their use of the computer systems is subject to monitoring - otherwise
you may fall foul of privacy legislation.

Once you've informed them you are monitoring them, you can do what you
like.  IANAL TINLA YADA.
