Any modern monitoring framework/server with a web interface will have |
4 |
tools to select metrics to retrieve and store into a database and |
5 |
display/graph/alert as needed using whatever reasonable collection |
6 |
interval you define. |
7 |
If your metrics are relatively simple, you should be able to get a |
8 |
solution implemented rather quickly without having to write any of |
9 |
your own code and the overhead/resources needed on your server would |
10 |
just be proportional to the number of metrics collected and their |
11 |
frequency. |
12 |
|

My current monitoring tool of choice is zabbix, but there are many options. |
