MRTG is a great graphing tool for small applications. Unfortunately the package does not scale very well for my purposes. The snmp polling and data storage in the logfiles are areas that I have problems with using MRTG. Are there any other viable alternatives to MRTG, or are there any existing mods to mrtg that graph right out of a file rather than polling for itself? I already have the data I need and would like to reuse it. If possible I would like to have a package that is separated into 3 sections. One section can be called upon to do polling or gathering data out of a repository. The second can be called upon to do statistics runs. The 3rd can be called to provide graphs on demand.

MRTG is a great tool that we use a lot - especially good if you want to offer traffic monitoring to customers. MRTG can get the stats from the customers port and display that as a GIF on your web server, accessed using the customers ID and password. Stops> all those calls from customers asking if their access lines are overloaded...
