It's got an SQL (my or Postgre) backend, so you can do more complex queries than you could with an RRD-based solution because it doesn't average out the data already stored. That looks promising > I've also heard some good things about RRFW (http://rrfw.sourceforge.net/), which does use an RRD-based backend, if that's where you'd like to head. Looks ok, but not quite what I want at the moment :) Thanks for the suggestion
