Check out Orca (http://www.orcaware.com/orca). It's a perl program that used RRDtool to store and graph arbitrary data. Also makes web pages for viewing the graphs. It was originally written to work with a data collector that was strictly for Solaris. However, when you grab the source tarball there is a contrib directory that has a data collector for linux called procallator. I've got it running on my system. I have used it at work on a number of Solaris machines for several years. You can see it on my home system at http://66.67.40.164/orca/procallator/. Be aware. The system might not be up all the time since it also doubles as the family PC for now.
