Nagios with MRTG or MRTG with Nagios

[Philip Roy]

For what it is worth I wondered for a while over this one then settled
for using Cricket (similar to MRTG uses RRDtool) and Nagios running
independently on the same system. I simply don't have to worry about
changes from Nagios impacting on the cricket setup.
