There are several ways thinkable:

• External checks - to execute a script/command to evaluate a value per item or to send a bulk of item values to proper Trapper items.
• Trapper items - to send data either individually or in a bulk by a script/program.
• User parameters - see External checks
• Loadable modules see User parameters/External checks
• ODBC monitoring - to query item values from a database directly
• ...

Once the values are gathered one can visualize them in Graphs
