There is no standard way but in my company we developed our own Perl
daemon for gathering performance data from a Nagios pipe and caching it.
A Cacti script connects to the daemon to get the data... You will need a
good understanding of Cacti (to create the new templates and data input)
and a bit of patience.

The daemon doesn't have any configuration (yet) so all variables are
hard-coded in the code. For example to change the data retention timeout
 (which is 120 seconds right now since our Nagios checks every minute
and our Cacti is patched to poll at the same interval) you will have to
change it in the cache_cleanup sub.

The latest daemon code with some bugfixes is available here:

And the setup instructions are here:
