I use Xymon for monitoring and the graphs are nice to have.
My collague created long time ago some script that runs on AIX and Windows 
that stores counters in an oracle database.  He then used an excell 
spreadsheet to pull out the numbers and create graphs.  This setup is changed 
so it uses a mysql database.  He is also writing a web-based report tool in 
perl but he insist in using mysql and some java tools to create graphs.

So, we have 2 sets of script for trending and graphing.

If I can store all (or some) rrd counters in mysql, I can start merging the 
monitoring scripts.
