I have cron entries such as:

*/15 * * * * DATE=`date` UPTIME=`uptime` ; echo "$DATE $UPTIME" >> 
/var/log/uptime.log

A little perl to parse the log file into a csv file, then graphed in 
Open Office / Excel.

Or, if you want the big guns

I believe these are built with a combination of

and probably some perl glue.
