How about this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=rrdtool

use the first hit.

You're probably confusing monitoring and graphing. RRDtool
is strictly a data-handling and grahing tool. It doesn't
care whether it handles cpu load or number of door knobs.
For performance monitoring - you didn't state what you
actually want to monitor, so i just assume - try this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=nmon

(Hint: First hit)

For more general system monitoring, try nagios, cacti, bb4,
etc, or commercial software like OpenView, Tivoli, Patrol,
Unicenter, etc.
