I have been using collectd and rrdtool for quite sometime and it works great for me. collectd has a rrdtool plugin which writes the values to RRD-files using <a href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/" class="external text" title="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/" rel="nofollow"></a>librrd. <br>
<br>Once you have data in the rrd files, then you could use rrdttool utility to draw graphs.<br><a href="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html">http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/doc/rrdgraph.en.html</a><br><br>Here is a nice tutorial about rrdtool for you to get started:<br>

</div>Good start is collection in contrib dir of collectd. I use that and<br>
