Re: collectd as alternative to RTG for high-resolution polling and long term storage?

[Ulf Zimmermann <ulf () alameda net>]

Be aware that collectd itself is a collection agent. It doesn't include
(last I checked) a grapher. There are however a number of graphers out
there to work with those RRD files, if you use that to store the data.

I personally have been using collectd across hundreds of Linux systems,
using rrdcached to a central collector and wrote my own grapher for that
stuff I am interested int.
