point me in the right direction
 

in reference to average server load. I know you can see the last minute, five minutes, etc, but is there a way to see more. Hourly would be nice, or maybe some soft of chart. Something like a graph or minute data in the admin area. I have been searching for about an half an hour and haven't found anything in the hacks area or general forum. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great....

There's no vBulletin.org modification to cache those numbers (but I can be missing it of course).

If you want full server stats with graphs etc., have a look at Cacti. It can give you stats of the traffic, server loads, CPU usage, logged in users, ... But you need server access and some knowledge about it to install it properly.

^^^^^good looking out, but thats more advanced than what i was looking for.
