>them with RRDtool.  The RRDtool tutorial was not helpful at all.  Examples 

Some example shell scripts to create and update rrd graphs
of ntpq derived data are at:

http://www.wraith.sf.ca.us/ntp/index.html#monitoring

The general idea, is you first create a database with the
rrdtool create command. A couple of the parameters setup
the period (poll interval) and time (how many minutes worth
of data) to keep. 

Then you crontab your poll. I'm using ntpq as Dave Mills
suggests the data grabbed in this fashion is "more correct"
than, say, ntpdc.

At the same time, my script also generates the new graphs,
although you could, for instance, generate the plots on
demand instead.

Some graphs that are generated this way are at:

Have fun and don't forget to post the url of your plot
data so everyone can see the data.
