I haven't used cacti in a while, but does it let you combine several
RRD files in to one graph? If so that's useful for power stuff,
because you're likely to want to graph an aggregate of several things
across different devices - for example a+b power of a server, or
aggregate power usage for one customer with multiple power feeds.
Note that RRD has some cool stuff that cacti can't use by default,
including the "aberrant behavior detection" functionality - that's
probably quite useful for power and environmental stuff..

We use cacti to graph our loads on the APC power bars and UPS gear,

Not to go too off-topic, but if there is a more preferred location
for me
to
ask, please let me know. I'm looking for recommendations on open
source
packages that people are using for monitoring power utilization of
their
network/server gear.
We're using Cacti currently, pulling the data from APCs via SNMP,
and I
wanted to check if someone had come across a better method before I
reinvented the wheel.
