Is there a known method for gathering PLM statistics from xlpstat and tossing it into a graph to hand off to the customer?

I wrote a quick script that uses xlpstat -r and dumps the data to a file, but there's no timestamp so I end up extrapolating out the time based on the date/time stamp of my output file. It's close, but not 100% accurate. I can't seem to find an IBM tool that will generate reports on this data, was wondering if someone else had written one?

The big stat that we're looking for is cpu_load, cpu_utili and of course cpu_entitlement.

i use nmon to gather the daily stats, and monthly to produce trends based on cpu, mem and disk usage. It uses the rrd tools to create the web-based graphs from the nmon stats.

search for nmon and rrdtools.
