We use nagiosgrapher with the following config (The plugin output includes the 
phrase
"transfered nnn bits/s")

Which produces some graphs.

define ngraph{
        #Tweak service name to fit naming conventions in dev/live environment
        service_name            Cisco Traffic
        graph_log_regex         (\d+) bits/s in
        graph_value             InBitsS
        graph_units             Bits/s
        graph_legend    In Bits/s
        hide                    yes
}

define ngraph{
        service_name            Cisco Traffic
        type                    CDEF
        graph_units             Bits/s
        graph_value             NegInBitsS
        graph_legend    In Bits/s
        graph_calc              InBitsS,-1,*
        rrd_plottype    AREA
        rrd_color               00ffff
        page                    Bits/s
        hide                    no
}

define ngraph{

        graph_value             OutBitsS
        graph_units             Bits/s
        graph_legend    Out Bits/s
        rrd_plottype    AREA
        rrd_color               0000ff

Hi Lance,

I could be wrong, but I think most use either nagiosgraph or pnp4nagios
http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start for graphing w/rrdtool... (I'm
getting there someday, cacti works for now, let us know how it goes
though!)

Cheers!
jamie
