Is it possible using Cacti to have it give you a list of machines that meet a certain criteria? For example, what are the machines that have had an average cpu load over 50% during the past week? What machines have 5% free disk space? etc. etc.

I haven't been able to find any suitable plugins, does anyone know of anything that can perform this task?
