Good news. Its pretty easy. Just create a datasource in cacti for each datasource in your RRD. Make sure that the rrd datasource names and paths are correct. If your RRAs are different from cacti's default RRAs, you'll need to add these also.

If you don't know whats in you RRDs, then use "rrdtool info" to find out what DSs, and RRAs you have. "man rrdinfo" for more on that.

Then you can create your graphs just as though cacti were gathering your data for you.
