This loooks great. I will try to work on it.

Ideally I would like to see rrd files for apache and lighttpd running
on the same machine to sit under different directories e.g
<basedir>/<hostname>/apache for apache and
<basedir>/<hostname>/lighttpd for lighttpd. May be introducing a
configuration variable like directory/instance can help? (the default
value will be "apache"). Does that sound okay?

I would also like the name of the rrd files to be server specific.
Right now, the name of the rrd files have apache as prefix which may
not make sense for lighttpd. We probably can introducing another
variable like "prefix" or something similar (default will be apache?).
