You really should consider http://prometheus.io <http://prometheus.io/> for that stuff.

It’s a time-series database with a query language modelled on Google’s borgmon. Scales beautifully, is supported as a back-end by graphing packages like Grafana. Comes with an alert manager you can use to funnel alerts into your favorite pager system.

Statistics collectors are easy to write: I knocked one up in an afternoon for graphing my home solar power system. There’s a golang library on Github, but you don’t really need it if you can arrange for metricname=value attribute-value pairs to show up on an HTTP server somewhere.
