<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Yeah, I’ve been searching on the Internet for some time now on how to predict future values based on past trends using RRDtool for some time now but haven’t gotten anywhere. I’m not so concerned about that graph in particular, but would like to bring the prediction of future data points to our graphs. Are there any pages out there that describe how to do this?<BR>

It can. But the graphs you referred to are not using the Holt-Winters<BR>
features. They're simple least-squares linear fit lines.<BR>
<BR>
Do you have a question about using one or the other of these?<BR>
