[collectd] Using rrd.cgi with collectd

[Sukhamrit Kanwar]

Thanks for your reply.

I'm not using rrdcgi(1), although your post did give me a sort of clue 
as to what might be wrong. In any case, here is a link to the script im 
trying to use:

http://haroon.sis.utoronto.ca/rrd/scripts/

It seems to be implemented just fine, but doesn't seem to find the right 
DS values in the RRD files. In the graph-making there seem to DEF 
entries for 1min:AVERAGE, 5min:AVERAGE, 10min:AVERAGE. Would it work if 
I use MIN MAX AVERAGE in this case?

Basically, I'm just looking for a very simple way to view graphs created 
from RRD files, so any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
