Graph is not appearing in Nagios monitoring ...

[Matthew Wilson]

Hi Rudy,
I think your problem is that the webuser can't execute rrdtool.  su to
whatever user runs cgis on your system and try
rrdtool graph blah blah blah 
from the shell
If this doesn't work then you need to check permissions on rrdtool.
