I have written scripts to dump cpu usage to a file, which I then
monitor with cacti.

It's very simple, so much so that there's not much point in
publishing it:
- Periodically (e.g. every 5 minutes) parse the cpu time out of
xm list --long. That is a simple counter. MRTG and other
monitoring software knows how to turn ever-increasing counters into a
rate of increase.
- Take the rate of increase in e.g. CPU milliseconds per 5 minutes,
and divide that by 300,000 (the number of milliseconds in 5
minutes). That leaves you with percentage CPU use of every
domain.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Andy
