How to create a new graph from a custom source

Hello,

I would like to create a graph to monitor the connected users from a custom application. Of course the users are not known from SNMP so I will have a script that tells a script the number of connected users every 5 minutes somewhere...

I didn't found any tutorial to do something easy like that. Could you please help me :=) ?

Data Input method called Script. You need to read the Cacti How-To's at http://docs.cacti.net. Also, please note that there are several "good" examples in the default installation.

I finally figured out how to do this pretty reliably.

I had to go through the docs twice to understand the logic, but I can now write my own queries and such and graph the data, so it's not that hard.
