RRD itself, "rrdtool graph", is the graphing back-end. It's pretty much a matter of what parameters you feed it, to get whatever you want output into the graph. For MRTG-type stuff, if you want similar time scales, you can probably work out 90% of the parameters ahead of time for each type of graph/time period combination and would just need to vary a few, mainly which file you're graphing from, which data sources you are pulling out of it, and how you caption them. You can invoke it from inside a .cgi, you can run it statically on a daily basis, you can call it from the shell, you can call it in Perl - you've got a lot of choices.
