drraw project is a simple Web-based presentation front-end for RRDtool that allows you to interactively build graphs of your own design. A graph definition can be turned into a template which may be applied to many Round Robin Database files.

Unlike most other RRDtool front-ends, drraw does not take care of collecting data and updating Round Robin database files. Instead, it specializes in providing an easy means of displaying collected data, making it a great complement to other RRDtool front- ends.

Here are some key features of "drraw":
An easy interface to define graphs on the fly with all the power provided by RRDtool. Such graphs may be saved for future viewing, or used to define graph templates.
Graph templates: A template is simply a graph definition missing the data source file names. Instead, templates offer a simple mechanism to find applicable database file names, allowing to apply the same graph to many different databases.
The ability to define "dashboards" featuring (static or dynamic) sets of graph previews for pre-defined graphs and templates.
A customizable browser allowing to navigate through graph, template and dashboard definitions.
A viewing engine allowing the user to change the time boundaries on the fly.

Requirements:
ActivePerl
Perl
RRDtool
RCS

What's New in This Release:
This release features full support for RRDtool 1.2 and above.
