Hello,
Some tools uses embedded rrdtool into php (eg ports/net/php4-rrdtool on freebsd ports). Does will cacti use it in the future ?
Also, what about a cache of png generated files ? Having lots of acces to same pages can load the server to the hell because each graph is generated lots of time..
Can this be added in the future ?

I have been discussing this as a feature, but it will not be really worked on until the second/third release of 0.9 cacti.

There is no benefit to introducing as I see it. Today are using popen with a unidirectional pipe today that works just fine. I have discussed the achiles heal of Cacti with both Ian and Tony and it's the speed at which RRD's are updated.
I plan on introducing multiple pollers in 0.9, but without some way to increase the speed of the RRD update process, we will hit the wall.
What I am considering is a multi-process ansi c based rrdupdate demon to accomplish this, but I am uncertain if it will actually speed things up at all. Disk write cache's seem to be lessening the blow right now. Especially in Windows.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

How about multiple commands pipelining or using rrdtool in service mode? Like described in section "Remote Control" on this page http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webto ... ol.en.html

Interesting approach. For us to get the throughput, we would have to have multiple open ports with multiple rrd services running. This implies a potential load ballancing scenario which implies more coding. Something to think about none the less.
