I have created a YouTube video that shows how to do this.

I've appended the script below so you can read along. Please get back to me if 
you have further questions.

-----------------------
Using InterMapper to monitor a device and create a chart:

This video was produced on a Macintosh, but InterMapper works equally well on 
Windows or Linux/Unix:

- Select the menu Insert -> Device... Address is localhost

- Right-click and Set Probe... Choose "Servers Standard", then choose Host 
Resources. Change parameters to SNMPv2c and the proper community string. (You 
can also set thresholds in this window.)

- Right-click to open the Status Window. This shows a tremendous amount of 
information about the device being tested. The "Reason" at the bottom shows 
that several disks are nearly full: that causes the icon to be in "alarm" state 
(orange).

- In the Status Window, the "UCD-SNMP Load Table Information" shows the three 
load averages: 1, 5, and 15 minutes. 

- You can create a chart from any blue underlined value: simply click on it. A 
chart appears with the Load-1 value.

- Add multiple values to the chart by dragging their blue values into the chart.

- Adjust the chart parameters to fit the data. (Load averages rarely get above 
4, so decrease the Upper bound from 100 to 4; change the dividers to 5 to give 
nice divisions of the Y axis).

- The chart continually fills with newly-acquired data from the device.
