Graphing NON-SNMP Devices

Howdy all,

I'd like to graph some devices (PDUs) that don't support SNMP. They have an
HTTP interface that spits out values in an XML format. I'm thinking that I
could write a bash script to wget/curl the HTTP output and then
grep/awk/sed the output into a list of values (or similar).

Can these values then be graphed in Cacti? Is this a good way to go about
this? How can I pass these values to Cacti, so they can be recorded into an
RRD file?

Many thanks,
James.
