collectd + drraw.cgi – zoom into your graphs like you used to with cacti
I fell in love with collectd and drraw.cgi (a front-end to collectd). This combination is great: Fast, simple and yet sufficient.
But there was one thing I missed in drraw that I loved in cacti: Zooming. (This is how it looks like in cacti)
So I went on and hacked it into drraw.cgi using jQuery. This is how it looks like:
Download the patch (6kb).
A note: For simplicity’s sake I just included the jQuery lib hosted at Google APIs. If this is a problem for you, just download a copy, put it on your webserver and adjust the line in the patched drraw.cgi.
Have fun with it! Comments and improvements are always welcome!

Your patch is great!!! Many thanks to make it available.
(drraw also is great, BTW)
Sweet man ! Really good job !
The patch doesn’t work if you are in a different timezone than the data in the graph. I am viewing a graph that is three time zones off from mine. When I zoom, it zooms in three hours too early.
Thank you some much, this is awesome!!! Great work!
