As far as I know, the standard SNMP agents of HP-UX will produce only "current state" information, not historical information. Custom MIB files only allow you to parse proprietary or non-standard SNMP data successfully: a MIB file does not help you if the SNMP agent does not produce the information you want.

The usual solution would be to periodically collect information to some central monitoring host using SNMP, and then analyze the data collected over time to visualize (or otherwise identify) trends. There is free software (like Cacti, see http://www.cacti.net ) to manage the data collection and graphing.

If you want some sort of automatic analysis (like "Automatic Warning: based on current trend over last month, disk space on disk X of system Y is likely to run out in about 2 days"),  you would need something that stores the data to a database and then applies some data analysis techniques to it. I don't know of any free software that could do that.
