Yes, graphing is based on http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/

Existing PerfsonarUI plugins provide support for RRD MA (utilisation, errors
and discards), Hades (OWD, IPDV, traceroute), BWCTL, Telnet SSH, Flows MA,
Authorisation & Authentication Service, Lookup service.  

The LHC community might have developed other relevant solutions as well, but I
am not aware of any details. 

Best regards,
Nina
