MRTG is a great graphing tool for small applications.  Unfortunately 
the package does not scale very well for my purposes.  The snmp polling
and data storage in the logfiles are areas that I have problems with
using MRTG.  Are there any other viable alternatives to MRTG, or are
there any existing mods to mrtg that graph right out of a file rather
than polling for itself?   I already have the data I need and would 
like to reuse it.  If possible I would like to have a package that
is separated into 3 sections.  One section can be called upon to
do polling or gathering data out of a repository.  The second can
be called upon to do statistics runs.  The 3rd can be called to provide
graphs on demand.

MRTG can get the stats from the customers port and display that as a GIF on your web server, accessed using the customers ID and password.
