    Managers,

    Our upper management would like some kind of historical tracking of how
    "busy" our Alpha servers are. I believe a very simple metric, as simple as
    load average found on "uptime" will suffice. And getting load over time.
    But is there a system, method, or software where I can get this kind of
    data, and probably put into excel spreadsheets?

    I've dabbled with performance monitor, but it seems a bit more complicated
    than I would need. I don't need memory usage or hd usage, just knowing if
    a computer was generally idle or busy over the days.

    I'm sure this has been requested of other sysadmins out there, what have
    you done to fulfil this request?
