Nagios can probably do all of that. I dunno what you want in those
daily/weekly/monthly reports. how many times people logged on and
stuff? how many noise packets at your network gateways?
the key to any of these systems is configuring the agents to collect the
data you want, and deciding whats a security event worthy of an alarm.
whether its a commercial system or freeware, you'll be spending a lot of
time on that.
