Why bother with ExHell for just a graph when MRTG can do it directly
to any web belcher?  See:
  http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/mrtg/orion/bell.pag.html
for a rather ugly, old, broken, and incomplete example of the output
of FreeMem and FreeSwap as reported by sar.  Just pretend that it's
all there.  The numbers are created by a shell script (that I can't
find right now) that runs a sar command (that I can't remember).  I'll
see if I can find the scripts later.

How to configure SCO Unix for 24 hour sar data collection:

How to install and run SCO Unix SNMP and Hostmib:
  http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/sco/snmp_install.txt

You'll find that much of what you want to extract and graph via sar is
also available via SNMP.
