Cricket can currently process far more data than just from SNMP;
ds-sources can also be of type EXEC,FILE or FUNC. If you just make an
external script that collects the data so it can be stored in a RRD, there
is no reason why cricket can't handle them. Numerous such scripts already
exist. In fact, if the data is somehow related to your network, then the
cricket tree is a totally appropriate place to put it.
Look in cricket documentation and cricket/util dir for examples of how to
make external scripts to cricket.
