RRDutil is a tool to collect statistics from multiple servers, store the values in RRD databases (using RRDtool) and plot out pretty graphs on demand.

Here are some key features of "RRDutil":
Tested on Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Linux
Written for ucd-snmp or net-snmp, and rrdtool 1.0.41+
Integrated support for RRD databases (via RRDs) module
Config format for deciding what to monitor.
3 primary functions (create rrds, update rrds, and graph)
Creates new *.rrd files if they don't exist.
Integrated using Net::SNMP perl module. :)
Collect, store, and graph (disk, network, cpu, load, memory, mail traffic, mysql, apache.
Pretty graphs.
Uses Perl CGI.pm and auto generates web pages.
Lots of error checking.
When triggered via CGI, only generate graphs requested.
Added support for www hits (logmonster)
Support for www hit logs graphing (see logmonster)
Web hits can be aggregated (many vhosts, one graph) or individual. This is particularly useful if you have one vhost that represents 90% of your servers traffic.
Nifty config file format, easy to set up correctly.
