Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that collectd uses RRD files for the backend, which you said you don’t want.

You might check out Grafana (http://grafana.org/ <http://grafana.org/>). Its based off graphite and uses something like opentsdb or influxdb for the backend. I think this is probably more what you’re looking for.
