Graphing data

[Mathew Walker]

Well, unless you have the historical data to jam into the graphing application, it will only be data going forward.

 

I found nagiosgraph simple and easy enough for my nagios setups.  It requires RRDtool.  If "graphing" is a critical aspect, I would look for a more robust graphing package though.  For us the graphs are just good visuals (for non-technical people) and help us gauge trends.
