Yeah, I've done a bit of it but as I don't know anything about sar, I don't really know what you are trying to do. Mrtg will do a good job of displaying graphs of incremental or non-incremental counter values and can even operate on or mathematically combine them. Formats are somewhat fixed but you can easily generate both configuration files and summary index pages. Look at the contributed directory when you install it for a lot of ideas. You might want to look at RRD which is a followup to Mrtg, both more flexible and more difficult. If you follow the links from the web page you will also find more front/back ends that may do things pretty much the way you want them. They are both great tools for extensive display of sampled data.
