may be some combination of influxDB or grafana or both
Hm... According to the roadmap, Nagios XI 6 is planned for no sooner than 2019 Q2, so it is at least 1 year from now.
Considering that this is a long way down the road (and also that many of the Nagios XI 5 installations will probably be in use even after Nagios XI 6 is released, maybe it would still be a good idea to file a feature request for supporting multiple RRD files. Even though my tests were not extensive at all, but what I experienced showed that most of it is already working, the only issue is with data presentation and graphing.
Maybe this could be added as an experimental feature to one of the upcoming versions of Nagios XI 5.
