I'm doing something similar - SNMP queries against a Compaq system to
produce a report like this:

   CPU	1 min	5 min	30 min	60min
&green  0	14%	9%	9%	9%
&green  1	11%	7%	9%	9%

I changed the [rrdstatus] entry in server/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg to include
the --extra-script & --extra-tests entries as described in the hobbit_rrd
man page.

If it gets through the mail system, my collection script is attached.  It's
not rocket science, but it seems to get the job done.

That pokes the data into an RRD, then it's just a question of setting up the
graph config to show what you want to see.
