Why not just write a script that logs in mailgraph input format and then
use that program to display?

ie:

shell script:

#####disklogger.sh###########
#DATA LOGGER FOR DISK USAGE
#!/bin/bash

while [ 1 ];do
         export DT=`date`;
         df -B1 | awk -F " " 
'{printf("%s|",ENVIRON["DT"]);for(A=1;A<NF;A++){printf("%s|",$A)};printf("\n") 
}'>>/var/log/my_disk_log.txt;
         sleep 60;
done






usage:

[blah at yada /]# sh disklogger.sh &
