There is a growing interest to see better reporting, and Perl may be the answer.

Create a table in your database with the attached spreadsheet as your guide, and generate the following reports:

Find all servers with CPU utilization above (>) 90%.

Find the average memory usage for all servers.

Show the server with the most memory utilization.

Show the server with the least amount of disk free.
