Thanks for the recommendation. :)

Cactid and PerfParse are different products.  All be it very similar.

PerfParse http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/ is an addon for Nagios to 
display graphs, where as I think cactid is a stand-alone product. It may 
well be that cactid, since it uses a MySQL database, can use the 
PerfParse database for an alternate front end to the PerfParse repository.

But I do not know much about cactid. :)  If somebody can confirm this 
for me, I would be extremely interested in knowing.

If you want a single permanent repository of historical Nagios data from 
one or more Nagios servers, both raw plugin output and extracted 
performance data, and display graphs of performance data, then PerfParse 
will certainly do this.
