snmpd can read logfiles for regexes and then populate a table in the
tree. Then you point something like Cacti at it.
See
http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html halfway down under
Log File Monitoring. It's a well hidden feature!
If you find the default logs a pain to parse, you can make use of
log_message to create custom entries, starting with an identifier.
Pass the lot through a decent syslog and you can split out the default
logs and your custom logs into separate files or a db or whatever. You
can use Exim stats on the default files. If you output to a db you
could run SQL queries for your reports.
There are lots of options 8)
