The book covers using a central collector.  It discusses thresholds, but
not in a predictive context - though maybe that just means you need
smarter plug-ins.  SFlow does not appear to be covered in the book.

(I just needed an excuse to pull a book off the shelf.  Let me know if
the book is likely to be useful.)
