There's more than one way to do it with Nagios:
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Charts.1720.0.html
I'm using nagiostat myself, which churns out graphs like:
http://nagios.windchannel.com/nagiostat/nagiostat.cgi?graph_name=westst-cr1-ser30
I just set it up yesterday so there's not much polling data yet. I like it
with MRTG/cricket better, actually - you can see a few blank spots where
checks got delayed due to other outages, and then there's no info to use.
MRTG/cricket just runs off cron, which means it hardly misses a beat.
