I wrote a small script to collect the snmp data from the Brocade fibre
switches and put the data into Servergraph.
Next I created a report to graph the data and in that way we could see
historical data throughput and identified more than once a faulty tape
drive!
You definitely want to monitor your tape throughput!

this feeds my hobbit (renaming, currently, to xymon) monitoring package. I
