Report and/or Pollers to track VM sprawl?

Question

I'm trying to avoid recreating the wheel.  So I'm trying to see if anyone out there figured out an effective way, perhaps through a combination of pollers and reports, to track stale VMs to curb VM sprawl.

There is a freeware tool made by a company called NetWrix that tracks three stats: VM's Powered off state for X days, Average disk usage for x days and Average network usage for x days.  Then you can look at the report and see if you have any good candidates for decommisioning or deletion from your farm.

I think I saw in Profiler some quick reports to track Disk Performance and Network Performance on a VM.  I think there is probably a way to use PowerCLI to manually connect and pull days off . . . I'm trying to see if there is a way to pull this all into one Orion report to run.

Here's what I've done so far:

Created a custom report that polls the VM statistics for:

Current CPU Utilization (Average)

Traffic Utilization (Average)

Current Memory Utilization (Average)

where Average is less than 1 for a 30 day period.
