{bb} rrd question



Could someone tell me if I am trying to do something that isn't adviseable or possible?
 
I currently run a script that queries all of my UPSes via snmp. However, it has now come time
to add some "historical" graphical data to the device status. All I want to do is just diaplay a graph
(of the last week?) for the last week for the device when we drill down for more info. I guess it
could take the place of the history button, but being as it is late I really haven't had a chance to
think that out too far...
 
I currently have BB1.9e installed with apache and rrdtool. I have been using rrd for the historical
information on my 60+ (and growing) population of UPSes for a couple of weeks now. When you
factor in the 8 or so items that I am monitoring per device (so far) it gets to be very messy...
 
The information I would like to display could be temperature, line voltage, etc... and is something
that I would like to do on a device-by-device basis. I don't need any of the alerting faetures - just
a graph. This is something that isn't required on all devices, but it would be nice to have.
 
My problem might be that I actually have too much information. I have looked into larrd and the
various scripts, but I haven't seen anything that jumps out at me as being "the solution". I guess
the bottom line is that I don't want to gain any more extra "dots" or have something that shows all
of the graphs - I have that right now and it is a pain to weed through. I have seen some posts from
a couple of years ago discussing pretty much the same issues, and was wondering what anyone
else has done.
 
Also, in my search for my answer I also thought that it would be a good idea to either feed data
from BB into rrd or from rrd into BB - more for history if anything else. Is this something that could
be done in BB, or is it something better handled by Hobbit?
 
Could anyone help point me  in the right direction?
TIA.
