Just so it's clear...are you trying to replace the rrd datastore with mysql (a la Nagios)? Or just have it dump to a mysql database as well?

Why do it through Xymon at all? You know where the rrds are. Why not use the perl rrd modules that come with rrd and access the rrds directly? I use Xymon for monitoring and the graphs are nice to have. My collague created long time ago some script that runs on AIX and Windows that stores counters in an oracle database. He then used an excell spreadsheet to pull out the numbers and create graphs. This setup is changed so it uses a mysql database. He is also writing a web-based report tool in perl but he insist in using mysql and some java tools to create graphs.
So, we have 2 sets of script for trending and graphing.
If I can store all (or some) rrd counters in mysql, I can start merging the monitoring scripts.
