You would have to do it from Dom0.  If you have control of the DomU's,
then any of the SNMP-based products will do a good job of this for you
(MRTG, Cacti, RTG).  You shouldn't need to enable SNMP on the DomUs
themselves if each DomU uses it's own interface, or VLAN (making Dom0
basically like a switch)

Hope this helps.
