Need disk statistics

Hi all.  I need to get the percent busy for the disks in my servers,
so that I can graph/monitor them.  I've looked into the UCD-SNMP MIBs,
but their % busy counters for disks don't appear to work.  I know I
can use iostat to get the "close to" instantaneous % busy, but I'm
looking for a 5 minute average.  Has anyone does this?  Any ideas on
how to get this done?

Thanks,
--Brian
