I've downloaded this toolset myself and have got it operational. It is a bit tricky to set up, but it is now invaluable as a source of information and a great help with load balancing and capacity planning.

Have you looked at the MRTG tools available on NOW? They can be used to generate graphs of usage (including CPU) over a selectable period.
The tools are at http://now.netapp.com/download/tools/filer-mrtg/ MRTG is at http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html

The mib for the future release currently in process contains the following:

We don't reboot our filers and proxies very often. It is much more useful to have an immediate measurement of the CPU busy% value as reported by sysstat. That would show patterns and peaks. One of our filers works for a news system, and there I'm interested in seeing just how busy it gets around 9pm when everyone is reading news. An average value that I get now, is really quite useless.
The same argument goes for all the other "since the last boot" things. An immediate measurement, no matter how heavily influenced by the moment, still says a lot more.
