man rrdtool 

You can dump them, create any graph you desire, etc.  The export is in XML
format.

The only caveat is that you'll need a full version of rrdtool - the myrrd
frozen version doesn't have the command line tool.  Use 1.0.49.

As I've said, you can also alter the URL for any of the existing ntop
requests - view source to find it - although the most useful thing you can
do in that case is alter the start/end times - say you want last week -
start=now-14d&end=now-7d etc.

What would you suggest using to look at that data, is there a way to simply
have the ntop interface read it, if it's there, then why not?
