in reply to Data structure for statistics

I'd like to second JavaFan's rrdtool suggestion, only take it one step further - cacti includes rrdtool, and provides graphing functionality. Once you set it up, it pretty much self regulates - that is the advantage of rrd (round-robin database), and provides graphs of varying resolutions - fine for current data, and more aggregated for older data.

Cacti is cross-platform, and free. I have no association with the authors, but have used it, and am a fan.

    Instead of cacti which is written in PHP, I'd go for Munin which is written in Perl.
