Collectd supports a large number “write” plugins[1] that can write out to various sources. I had been eyeing Grafana and OpenTSDB, they’re probably worth a look John 1: https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Table_of_Plugins

Would anyone care to share their experience using collectd as an alternative to rtg for high-resolution polling of interface traffic and long term storage?
I am investigating the various options for large data set size, lossless long term traffic charting (not RRAs which lose precision over time). One possible use is precision 95th billing.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that collectd uses RRD files for the backend, which you said you don’t want.
You might check out Grafana (http://grafana.org/ <http://grafana.org/>). Its based off graphite and uses something like opentsdb or influxdb for the backend. I think this is probably more what you’re looking for.
