See the rrdcollect.conf config here: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/DDoS/rrdcollect_scripts/rrdcollect.conf The RRD data files are created by a perl script. I have put the perl script here: http://people.netfilter.org/hawk/DDoS/rrdcollect_scripts/rrdcollect-create-datafiles.pl I use the tool 'drraw' to show the graph data, but I have not uploaded those files... Don't know if its the right tool for the job, but it was very easy to change things to start with, then when the number of graphs grew, it sort of got annoying to maintain via drraw.
