Source code
RRDtool is a little program for easily maintaining a database of time-series data. It comes with a charting program for drawing pretty graphs based on the data stored. Either after compiling or after installing you can try the example RRDtool applications in the examples directory. If you are looking for a more slow paced introduction, make sure to read Alex van den Bogaerdt's rrdtutorial which is also available from the doc directory. Also read his cdeftutorial and Steve Rader's rpntutorial. Contributed feature and bug patches are most welcome. Since rrdtool lives on github, it is now very easy to create pull requests. Work from the master branch unless you are creating bugfixes. No new features should go into the 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 branches. If you contribute new features, make sure to also update the documentation pod files.

RRDtool (round-robin database tool) is a data logging and graphing system for time series data such as network bandwidth, temperatures, and CPU load. The data is stored in a circular buffer-based database, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
