We capture snapshots of vmdareq and parse that out to feed into mrtg.
You can base your code on something like this:

[root@osiris crontabs]# cat /usr/openv/local/drive-count.sh
#!/bin/sh

OUT=/usr/openv/local/drive-count.dat
PATH=$PATH:/usr/openv/volmgr/bin

date=`date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M'`
count=`vmdareq | grep AVAILABLE | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
down=`vmdareq | grep DOWN | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`

echo "$date $count $down" >> $OUT
