Check out the doc directory, you can       make pdf   or    make html =20
to generate documentation.

You're looking for the report-format option, setting this to rrd can
generate rrd data.

You will need to create the rrd file first though, and specify it using
report-filename.

Bwmd will log 4 values to the rrd every report-timeout, bytes, packets,
bursted, dropped respectively.

Check this script out ....
http://www.linuxrulz.org/nkukard/scripts/stats.cgi .... thats a starting
point to write your own cgi script which generates funky rrdtool graphs  =
:)

Let me know if you come right, I'll work on better documenting the
reporting directly to rrd the first chance I get. This should serve as
information for anyone who takes the time to look through the mailing
list archives  ;)
