Hello Alexei,
I don't know if you already went through JpGraph but maybe take a look.
It's a php library to generate complex graphs...
check it at http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/index.php

spider,
I agree, jp is an excellent program. It looks like he has changed his licensing a little bit. The opensource license is now under QT Free License. It used to be under a "personal use only," and I think that prevented Alexei from including or using it. Now that the license has changed it might be possible. Also, do you write any PHP? Take a stab at making some graphs with jp and your zabbix data. Post up the results and see what people say. I would be interested in seeing some examples.

You are right Cooper. The license is not free.
I'll try to make some graph and then we will talk about it again.
Thank you,

Well, it does have an open-source clause. I would assume that would apply to zabbix. The problem then becomes:
1. What happens when someone installs zabbix and then charges clients for monitoring? They would need to buy a comercial licnese for jp, but most likely wouldnt.
2. What happens to Alexei? He now has some liability, probably.
Best thing to do would be contact jp's maintainer and get some straight, solid answers on the licensing.
