I'm using RRD for awhile now ... it's quite clean and works perfectly.

This is how my scripts works :
- I've seted up an event handler that's called everytime a check is 
finished (yes, on every services that are actively checked)
- This scripts checks that returned status is OK and parse the information 
returned by the nagios plugin (ie %tage of use for a DISK service, counter 
for an ethernet card gathered with SNMP, ...)
- Then, he put this value in an RRD database

Thenafter, i've just seted up some services & hosts extended info links 
that points to RRD graphs

you might want to take a look at www.rrdtool.org :)


See you
