RRDtool has a graph function, which presents data from an RRD in a customizable graphical format

The round-robin database tool RRDtool aims to handle time-series data like network bandwidth, temperatures, CPU load etc. The data gets stored in round-robin database so that system storage footprint remains constant over time.

It also includes tools to extract RRD data in a graphical format.
