<para>
&kcollectd; is a small applications that allows to view rrd
datacollections that have been created by collectd.
</para>
<para>
It is quite limited, but allows to zoom and scroll around and has an
automatic update and follow mode, which makes it some kind of
statusmonitor.

<chapter id="using-kcollectd">
<title>Using &kcollectd;</title>
<para>
At the left side of the window is a tree, that lists all collectd
datasources that kcollectd has found. You can select one or more of
them with the mouse.
</para>
<para>
At the right the selected datasources are shown as graph. You can move
the graph to the left or right with the mouse und zoom in or out with
the mousewheel or the zoombuttons.
</para>
<para>
At the lower left there is a auto-update-button that allows to switch
kcollectd into the update-and-follow-mode.  In this mode the graph
still can be zoomed, but always displays now near the right edge and
can not be scrolled any more.
