Python module to add datasource to existing RRD-file
RRDtool has no way of adding datasources to existing rrd-files. This is normally not a problem. However the need for adding more data to an existing target in Cricket does pop up from time to time (for instance a sw-upgrade of a switch makes more data available), and to preserve historical data a new datasource must be added. This module will dump the rrd-file to xml, edit the xml-file and restore the xml into an rrd-file in order to add the datasource.

I know its the wrong language, but perhaps someone could adapt the code used for this perl module RRD::Simple
http://
i used it for some monitorings scripts, It lacks some support for graphing detailed, but the add and update features are great (for simple rrd'ing)
