MRTG will produce a graph if you can feed it two numbers every 5 minutes.<BR>
But it is not magic you need to provide those two numbers somehow.<BR>
But if you have a way to generate two numbers using perl, c, bash, python,<BR>
or whatever, you can grab them.<BR>
<BR>
But, if you could do that, you could also feed rrdtool directly, and skip<BR>
the MRTG middleman. The advantages that MRTG brings are mainly dealing with<BR>
counter roll-over detection.<BR>

Depends on which sets of two numbers you want to collect every 5 minutes<BR>
