RRDTool does not require SNMP or any other particular collection method;
it's just usually the most convenient way to retrieve data. The
collection of the data happens completely outside of RRDTool. All
RRDTool really cares about is that you feed it numbers. It doesn't care
where or how you retrieved those numbers.

I don't use NagiosGrapher but it sounds like you're able to retrieve the
numbers it would need to feed to RRDTool so it sounds like you're OK to
proceed.
