I have always wondered why data collection and graphing is not using RRD for its storage and display.  So I decided to make this a feature request to hopefully open some discussion.  While I 100% love NetXMS I do miss the capabilities most of the other NMS software gave through use of RRD (just browsing through http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/gallery/index.en.html brings tears to my eyes :) ).  Specifically, looking for things like:

- Easily being able to select date / time ranges and adjust them on the fly.  Opsview, ZenOSS give good examples
- Does not seem to be any facility for getting Min, Max, Average, Total,... and displaying these on the graphs.
- Custom set presets.  As an example for some links we would like to look at "last month" (9/1 - 9/30 for current example)

It is a code base that has existed been enhanced for quite some time and really seems to be the defacto standard.  Curious what everybody thinks.  Thanks as always!
