To answer your question, we dump perfdata using perfparse to a central mysql database for trending and analysis. As you mentioned there are several good graphical trending tools out there but having the data in a relational database gives us a good bit of flexibility about how that data is used and presented.
I can make quick work of creating a perl wrapper script to format the output I just was wanting to find out if the max service latency returned by nagiostats was based on a 5 minute average or not. Thanks for your input however, I'll have to evaluate some of the other tools sometime.

Just my two cents, I hate programming though.

I do see the MRTG Integration definition example uses a label of Max 5 Minute Latency so I'm assuming min/max/average values are past five minutes and not since the last restart of nagios or some other interval. In this particular case the version of nagios would be 2.12. Does anyone know a definitive answer to this one or did I just overlook the answer?
