[collectd] what do you use for graphing?

[Amit Gupta]

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 <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/>librrd.

Once you have data in the rrd files, then you could use rrdttool utility to
draw graphs.

Here is a nice tutorial about rrdtool for you to get started:
