+collectd is a daemon which collects system performance statistics periodically
+and provides mechanisms to store the values in a variety of ways, for example
+in RRD files and backends like Graphite.
+
+collectd gathers statistics about the system it is running on and stores this
+information. Those statistics can then be used to find current performance
+bottlenecks (i.e. performance analysis) and predict future system load (i.e.
+capacity planning). Or if you just want pretty graphs of your private server
+and are fed up with some homegrown solution you're at the right place, too ;).
