Does it generate the graphs for EVERY access? Or does it just generate the
graphs a maximum of once per X minutes on access?
If it generates graphs for every access it won't do well when all the people
in your NOC have it on auto-refresh...
Yes indeed :) No, RRDTool's cgi is smart enough to only regenerate images when needed. It is configurable, so that if you want it to always generate a fresh graph, you can.
