Any tool for viewing historical process resource utilization? (IE: A combination of sar and pidstat)

I'm trying to troubleshoot some CPU spikes that occur every so often on a Linux server. I can use ***sar*** to see the resource utilization in the past, and ***pidstat*** to see what processes are using what resources, but pidstat doesn't go into the past. So what I'm looking for is a combination of both - Something that I can use to see what processes were taking up what resources. I haven't been able to find anything, and I know I can write a simple bash script to save the output of pidstat to a file, but if there's already a solution for this (which I would be surprised if there isn't), then I'd rather not re-invent the wheel. Thanks!
