@drwho, looking at my setup it was a built-in traffic sensor that either I added or one the application picked up on when I ran "Auto Discovery" on the device (I believe it was the latter). I see both our WANs and all our LANs as traffic sensors in PRTG. If I remember correctly, I just renamed them to something more human readable after auto discovery.
The CPU and memory sensors looks like I added as "custom snmp sensors" and supplied the OID. You can get the OIDs using the MIB file obtained from the fortigate then browse that MIB file with an MIB browser to find what you are looking for. There are also some forum posts with the OIDs but I prefer to get it from the source. :) (Though posts are great as a secondary source)

You can get some basic reports from FortiView on the device, but you want to look at FortiCloud or FortiAnalyzer for reporting.

The best way I've ever found is surely via SNMP monitoring with tool like Zabbix, Cacti, Nagios and so on.

We also use SNMP. We use PRTG Network Monitor.

Try this one: http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD37222
I do not use PRTG so I haven't tested it yet.

There's a simple interface bandwidth monitor available on the FortiGate itself (on the dashboard). Can give you a look at up/download bandwidth for your interfaces.
