Pandu,
Any modern monitoring framework/server with a web interface will have
tools to select metrics to retrieve and store into a database and
display/graph/alert as needed using whatever reasonable collection
interval you define.
If your metrics are relatively simple, you should be able to get a
solution implemented rather quickly without having to write any of
your own code and the overhead/resources needed on your server would
just be proportional to the number of metrics collected and their
frequency.
My current monitoring tool of choice is zabbix, but there are many options.
Matt
