Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to recover that
history...it's communicated to the the server by the client.

The vmstat data is collected in 5 minute increments, and only a max of 2
collections at a time...anything older is removed.

If the client wasn't communicating back to the server and passing the
vmstat data along, there isn't any way (that I've seen) to recover and
transmit the old data.
