We looked at a number of monitoring systems before closing on (community version) Opsview. The main other contender we looked at was zenoss - I have to admit I was biased due to previous use of and liking of nagios.
So, if I already have a working nagios that I like, are there any advantages to Opsview community? I only have about 100 services I monitor, and I doubt it'd grow a huge amount in the near future.
Well, Nagios is more for outage/alerts were I was looking more for trending.
Thats why I was originally using Cacti w/Nagios plugin.
I haven't been following this thread, so I may be on the wrong track, but have you checked out something called 'rrdtool' and its pal 'mrtg'?
See: http://www.mrtg.org/rrdtool/
At least their intention is to help you reveal trends in various lengths of time and almost any metric you come up with. I believe some people have already worked out using it with snmp, at least for some things.

Hi Jerry,
So nice of you to chime in.
Ummm, Cacti and I'm sure Opsview use rrdtool to generate there graphs.
In fact, my post was to ask for a more friendly tool as Cacti graphs get un ruley.
