Have you looked at Capacity Planning?

Thanks.... I shall look into it.

Let me know how that works out for you. If it isn't quite what you were looking for, let me know in a bit more detail what you need and I'll see what I can come up with.

The Capacity Planning Report allows you to project future growth based on historical trends. I recommend watching this video, and reading this document.

First, you will enter a hostname and select a time period. You can choose an extrapolation method. I am leaving mine at default.

After pressing 'Go,' you will see a list of graphs that will first take your historical information (in blue) and run it through your selected algorithm to attempt future prediction.

This feature is especially useful for metrics like processor performance, drive space remaining, memory usage, etc. Please click the 'Table' button for further information:

Thank you very much,jolson

What is this different Extrapolation Method ?

[jolson]

It's the mathematical method used to determine future prediction. I recommend leaving it at default unless you have a preference. I don't have any knowledge about the differences between the methods, but you are free to experiment as you wish!
