There's a ten-part series of posts on how to extend BS to do this.

*shuffle*

However, I found it easiest just to write my own Big Sister agent, which
I call lilsis.  It's a TCP connection to 1984, then
http://bigsister.graeff.com/pdoc/PROTOCOL.html ...

Also, I liked Orca's graphs better, so I wrote a shell script to pull
the perf data out of var/status.log and put that where Orca could find
it.  So, Big Sister just stands in the middle, shows me pretty little
green and yellow lights, and makes my pelvis buzz when something goes
awry.

The agent I wrote is a Perl script that runs as a daemon on a FreeBSD
system, collecting system data via shell commands and passing perf and
alert data to Big Sister.  If anyone who finds themselves reading this
thinks they'd want to deploy or adapt this script, they are welcome to
contact me.

Sincerely,
-danny
