I worked with someone who was very good with Crystal Reports.
Stats from Platform/LSF  --> Oracle Database --> Crystal Reports.
For example:
http://it-div-fio-reports.web.cern.ch/it-div-fio-reports/Reports/LSF/trends/memory_usage.pdf
That's why you need a gig of memory these days :-)
(and they run three jobs per dul-CPU box)

BTW, I though I came across an open source project for a
Crystal Reports equivalent. COuld he havering though...
