為 MRTG 進階版，原 MRTG 作者覺得 MRTG 有缺點(例如無法一個流量圖集合所有相關要統計的數據)所以便又著手開發 RRDTool，RRDTool 一樣是利用 SNMP 協定，去偵測有提供 SNMP 資訊的設備來畫出數據統計流量圖，原 RRDTool 1.0.x 版本時時是利用 GD 來畫出數據統計流量圖，在 RRDTool 1.2.x 版本之後作者為了使數據統計流量圖能匯出 PDF 文件格式，因此便改為使用 libart 及 freetype 來畫出數據統計流量圖(雖然效率慢很多)，但因為 rrdtool 語法必須要深入研究因此有人利用 php 寫出 [cacti] 這軟體使您比較容易控制 rrdtool，同時也有許多的 cacti plugin 可以使用，本篇實作也是利用 cacti 來控制 rrdtool作說明。
