A few versions back I did some testing with WMIC and was able to drop the returned values into RRD and produce a graph. It worked for a day or two and then broke itself for some reason but I never pursued it any further. I cannot remember how I set it up but I know you can use WMI to gather various performance information. See perfmon for examples. It took some guess work and I'm sure there is a better way but once again I was just testing at the time. Moral of the story is to be creative and persistant. Sorry I don't have more but if I get around to testing again I'll add some notes to a new thread.
